Glioblastoma cells are labeled in green to follow cytoskeletal organization and cellular dynamics during migration. Cell nuclei are shown in blue.
Glioblastoma cell migration
The Neurogenesis and Brain Tumors Lab has produced a video and a 3D-rendered image of glioblastoma cells migrating on the top of human brain blood vessels.

Invading glioblastoma cells
The video below shows a 3D-rendered image of human glioblastoma cells, shown in green, migrating on the top of human brain blood vessels, shown in red. Glioblastoma tumors invade the healthy brain by using anatomical structures as paths. These structures include blood vessels and myelin tracts.
