Shootin1b is a potential target for the inhibition of glioblastoma motility

Caption

In a study by researchers from Japan, researchers identify molecular machinery involving shootin1b that drives rapid cell motility. Abnormal activity of shootin1b promotes the migration of glioblastoma, the most common brain tumor in adults. Notably, shootin1b knockdown inhibits glioblastoma motility.
