Summary
New research provides the proof of concept for a pioneering microscopy technique that can penetrate deep brain tissue.
Researchers enhanced the technology with artificial intelligence to enable it to track individual brain tumour cells migrating along a nerve fibre ‘superhighway’ known as the corpus callosum. They specifically targeted cancer cells related to glioblastomas, one of the deadliest brain cancers.
The scientists believe that understanding early cancer cell ‘traffic patterns’ along the corpus callosum could help establish a biomarker for detecting glioblastomas earlier in patients, potentially leading to better diagnostic tools in the future.
