What molecular mechanisms underlie the inverse association between cancer and neurodegeneration?

OPEN

The abstract identifies an inverse relationship between cancer and neurodegenerative diseases but doesn't explain the mechanistic basis. Understanding this paradox could reveal fundamental insights into cellular fate decisions and inform therapeutic strategies for both disease classes.
