Current therapies and diagnostic tools for GBM are limited; therefore, we searched for a more favorable therapeutic target or marker protein for both therapy and diagnosis.

- Scientists created a special device that separates parts of brain cells called neurons so they can study them better.
- The device has two sections that keep the neuron parts apart, allowing only the long fibers called axons to move down to the other section.
- This helps researchers look closely at the axons without mixing them up with the other parts of neurons, which could help in understanding how they work.
