Gliomas phenocopy an inborn error of metabolism to drive neuronal activity and tumor growth

Kalil G. Abdullah, Kenji Miki, Charles K. Edgar…·Samuel K. McBrayer

This study identifies GAA accumulation in gliomas as a driver of neuronal activity and tumor growth, linking cancer metabolism to neuroscience through GABAA receptor activation.

Microglial Fructose Metabolism Is Essential for Glioblastoma Growth

Leah K. Billingham, Susan L DeLay, Yasmina Eshac…·Jason M. Miska

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