Cancer in young people is rare, but it is still a major health issue in Europe. Each year, more than 6,000 young people in Europe die of cancer. There are more than 300,000 European childhood cancer survivors (in 2020, they will be nearly half a million): two-thirds of them have some late side effects of treatment, that are severe and impact on the daily life of half of those affected.
Scientists discovered a completely new function of the cells that surround nerve fibres: so-called Schwann cells not only attract immune cells to initiate nerve healing but also behave like a “police force” themselves.
Among other things, they shut down the immune response in time during the nerve repair process to protect the nerve fibres. The authors hypothesize that similar mechanisms could prevent benign childhood nerve tumours (Neuroblastomas) from growing.
