Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor with a highly invasive nature. Despite the clinical relevance of this behavior, the molecular underpinnings of infiltrating GBM cells in the peritumoral zone remain underexplored in patients. Here, we show that peritumoral progenitor-like GBM cells activate transcriptional programs associated with increased invasivity, synaptic activity, and NOTCH signaling. These cells spatially colocalize with neurons and exhibit an increased propensity for neuronal crosstalk. The epigenetic encoding of these infiltrative cells mirrors that of uncommitted oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the developing human brain, a neurodevelopmental state marked by increased synaptic and migratory potential. Functional perturbation of a nominated regulatory factor, ZEB1, confirmed its role in maintaining the invasive and uncommitted developmental potential of infiltrative GBM cells. Our findings provide insights into the neurodevelopmental hijacking that drives GBM infiltration in patients, rationalizing further investigation into targeting differentiation potential as a therapeutic strategy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
