MAPK/ERK signaling in gliomas modulates interferon responses, T cell recruitment, enhances tumor-microglia crosstalk, and drives immune checkpoint blockade efficacy.

This study identifies the MAPK/ERK pathway as a key regulator of glioma susceptibility to immune checkpoint blockade, showing it modulates interferon responses, T cell recruitment, and tumor-microglia interactions.

Microglial Fructose Metabolism Is Essential for Glioblastoma Growth

This study shows that microglial fructose metabolism via GLUT5 is critical for glioblastoma growth, as GLUT5-KO mice live longer with reduced tumor progression.

A Bi-Specific T Cell-Engaging Antibody Shows Potent Activity, Specificity, and Tumor Microenvironment Remodeling in Experimental Syngeneic and Genetically Engineered Models of GBM

This study evaluates a bispecific T cell-engaging antibody in immunocompetent GBM models, showing improved survival, TME remodeling, and immune memory induction.
