New study uncovers why dispersed glioblastoma cells are more dangerous

A new study, led by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, captured details of glioblastoma that had never before been seen and revealed a surprise finding: Glioblastoma cells that "cluster" together with other cells of the same type are less deadly than those that disperse from these clusters.
