Glioblastoma (GBM) infiltrates the brain and can be synaptically innervated by neurons, which drives tumor progression. Synaptic inputs onto GBM cells identified so far are largely short-range and glutamatergic. The extent of GBM integration into the brain-wide neuronal circuitry remains unclear.

This project, driven by medical students, identified specific disability-centered educational learning points that could be integrated into existing preclinical neurology content as part of an integrated disability curriculum.

- In drug-resistant epilepsy, the study focuses on using deep learning to analyze intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) signals, specifically through time-frequency (TF) images, to locate the epileptogenic zone (EZ) for surgical guidance.
- The researchers processed iEEG data from 20 children and employed a pre-trained neural network (VGG16) to measure visual complexity, revealing that contacts within the seizure onset zone had significantly lower activation energy compared to those outside.
- The findings suggest a new computer-assisted method for accurately localizing the EZ with a 7 mm accuracy in MRI scans, potentially reducing the need for extensive manual iEEG examinations.
Obesity is a leading risk factor and a negative prognostic indicator for many cancers. In a recent issue of Science Immunology, Bagchi et al. identified that tumor-associated macrophages upregulate GPR65 in response to obesity-driven intratumor acidity resulting in reduced effector function to promote tumor growth.

CLL patients are susceptible to severe infections due to immune dysregulation induced by their malignancy and immunosuppressive therapies.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 63-year-old man with CLL who previously achieved remission and presented with a right inguinal mass.
