The strategy, which they demonstrated in cells in the lab, forces brain cancer cells to display targets for the immune system to attack. Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive cancers, as illustrated by these brain scans from a patient with glioblastoma at initial diagnosis (left) and the same patient with a recurrent tumor (right).

These 3D models illustrate the study's findings. The top left image shows a circular coil used for magnetic seizure therapy (MST), while the top right image shows unilateral electrode placement for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The bottom row displays simulated electric field distribution in the brain during stimulation for each method. Warmer colors (red) indicate stronger electric fields, while cooler colors (blue) represent weaker fields, highlighting differences in how each technique interacts with brain regions.
