Correction: Nicotine promotes brain metastasis by polarizing microglia and suppressing innate immune function

Key Points

• Brain metastasis is significantly promoted by nicotine, with an emphasis on microglial polarization.
• Nicotine induces changes in microglia that suppress innate immune function, impacting tumor progression.
• Analysis of immune responses elucidates the mechanisms by which nicotine influences cancer biology.
• Findings highlight the complex interaction between nicotine and brain immune environments, suggesting new treatment avenues.
