BME Ph.D. Defense: Structure and Function of Active Nematic Liquid Crystal Order in Brain Tumors Abstract: Glioblastomas (GBM) are the most common adult brain tumors, characterized by rapid invasion into the normal brain and therapeutic resistance. Our lab previously demonstrated that GBM tumors exhibit self-organized, nematically aligned, multicellular structures, termed “oncostreams,” that influence tumor invasion and malignancy. Oncostreams are regulated by collagen fibers and downregulation…
