Glioblastoma erodes skull and disrupts immune system, study reveals

Researchers have discovered that glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, extends beyond the brain by eroding the skull and altering the immune cells in skull marrow. This interaction fuels the cancer's progression and explains why current treatments often fail. The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggest new strategies targeting both brain and bone.
