Region-specific human brain organoids reveal synaptic and cell state drivers of glioblastoma invasion

Tarun N. Bhatia, Saisrinidhi Ganta, Mostafa Meselhe, Caitlin Sojka, Antoni Andreu Martija, Lisa Nieland, Uriel Rufen-Blanchette, Anson David Sing, Alexia Tyler King, Brain Organoid Hub, Aparna Bhaduri, Kimberly Bojanowski Hoang, Edjah Kweku-Ebura Nduom, Renee D Read, Jeffrey J. Olson, Steven A. Sloan

This study uses human brain organoids to show that glioblastoma cells adopt neuron-like states and interact with region-specific synaptic inputs to drive invasion.
