Scientists have discovered hidden rules governing how glioblastoma cells change states and resist treatment. Glioblastoma is one of the deadliest brain cancers, partly because its cells can change identities to survive treatment. Now, two studies published in Nature reveal that these changes follow predictable patterns, potentially offering new ways to make the tumors less aggressive.
