🤯 Glioblastoma tumours form connections with neurons, driving their own progression!

😱 The lab of my good friend @venkataramanilab.bsky.social back from the days at Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes e.V. just dropped that screamer of a paper!

🕸️ This study maps glioblastoma’s integration into neural circuits using rabies-virus tracing, revealing neuron-tumour networks as key therapeutic targets.

Characterizing and targeting glioblastoma neuron-tumor networks with retrograde tracing

Rapid integration of glioblastoma into neuronal circuits promotes glioblastoma invasion and growth, as shown by rabies-based retrograde tracing. Targeting of neuron-tumor networks with pharmacological or rabies-mediated disconnection offers therapeutic potential.

Beautiful work & insightful BlueSkytorial by @venkataramanilab.bsky.social.

Using modified rabies viruses, they show that glioblastoma tumor cells rapidly make connections with neurons & these interactions represent targetable vulnerabilities that could open therapeutic avenues for brain cancers.
