Third, in co-cultures with mouse nodose ganglia, which physiologically innervate PNECs and are the most likely origin of the VGluT1-positive fibres observed in tumours in vivo14 (Fig. 2a,d–f), we again identified juxtaposition of HOMER1 and VGluT1 on cancer cells (Extended Data Fig. 6f–i). The gene discussed is SLC17A7; the disease is neoplasm.
