The study investigated both mouse and human glioblastoma cells to determine their nutritional requirements for growth. By cultivating these cells in saline solutions devoid of any nutrients, researchers observed the survival duration of these cells in a nutrient-free environment. Mouse cells, exhibiting a much higher basal metabolic rate than their human counterparts, died within 24 hours, while human cells persisted for about 48 to 72 hours.
