Researchers discovered a hybrid brain cell in glioma tumors that can fire electrical impulses, potentially correlating with improved survival rates.
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have identified a new type of "hybrid" brain cell in glioma tumors, capable of firing electrical impulses—a function previously attributed solely to neurons. This finding challenges established neuroscience concepts and suggests that the presence of these cells correlates with improved survival rates in patients. The study used advanced techniques to analyze tumor samples, highlighting the need for further exploration of these cells' roles in brain function and cancer prognosis.
