Invasive glioma cells: The malignant pioneers that follow the current

Glioblastoma is a lethal, diffusely invasive brain cancer that is robustly regulated by the activity of the brain itself, in part through neuron-to-glioma synaptic communication. Venkataramani et al. have conceptually advanced understanding of glioblastoma interactions with neural circuits, demonstrating that conduction of electrochemical signals via neuron-to-glioma synapses drives glioma invasion.

Automated summary

This research has further revealed the interaction mechanism between neural circuits and glioblastoma, highlighting the importance of neuron-to-glioma synaptic communication in glioma invasion.
