William Walker II and myself have put up a new preprint of our paper “Molecular mechanisms of cancer-induced sleep disruption” to preprints.org . This is my first time publishing a pre-print….and I like it so far! In this review, we discuss emerging research that links the brain and cancer in the periphery. Specifically, we highlight how this cross-talk alters the host response to tumors, causing ‘collateral damage’ like sleep disruption, systemic inflammation, metabolic changes, and anorexia/cachexia.
