Thank you @UNMHSC for highlighting our progress in #glioblastoma #gbm research!
UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers are studying how glioblastoma cells hide deep in the brain, making them harder to treat. bit.ly/494xk28 Their work is helping uncover new ways to target these cells and improve outcomes for patients.
