AI-powered imaging tracks thousands of brain cancer cells moving through living tissue
The Brief
- Researchers at Uppsala University combined live imaging of brain tissue with artificial intelligence.
- The method tracks individual glioblastoma cells as they spread through living brain tissue.
- According to the source, the cells can switch between different ways of moving.
Why it matters
Showing how individual glioblastoma cells move and change their mode of movement could help researchers study how this brain cancer spreads, a key factor in its treatment difficulty.
