Currently, there is a lack of clear understanding on how glioma cells exploit neural electrophysiological signaling to drive hyper-invasive behavior. Here, the authors integrate custom microfluidics with machine learning-based signal decoding to uncover a mechanism by which tumors actively reprogram neural firing patterns, synchronizing with their microenvironment to enhance invasiveness.
