Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the most important attributes of glioblastoma (GBM) is its extreme cell invasiveness into surrounding brain tissue, which is arguably the reason why surgical resection and other treatments are ineffective. This Special Issue of Cancers focuses on invasion in glioblastoma and is aimed at creating a thorough view of this characteristic of the deadliest primary brain cancer. We will consider all aspects of invasion in glioblastoma for this Issue, including the routes of GBM cell invasion, genetics of invasion, intrinsic cellular mechanisms controlling invasion, extracellular and microenvironmental cues that influence cell invasion, in vivo models for studying GBM cell invasion, in vitro approaches to studying invasion, imaging GBM cell invasion, mathematical modeling of invasion, and potential therapeutic approaches to inhibiting invasion. Original research articles, review articles, and short communications will be considered for inclusion in this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Deni S. Galileo
