Glioblastoma cells invading living brain tissue

Caption

Glioblastoma cells invading living brain tissue. Each tumor cell leaves a coloured trail showing where it moved over five days, from blue (start) to red (end). Blood vessels and immune cells (microglia and macrophages) are shown in grey. Some tumor cells migrate along the blood vessels, while others move freely through the tissue. The image was recorded with GlioTrace, a new method that uses artificial intelligence to follow thousands of individual tumor cells in living brain tissue and measure how they switch between different ways of invading.
