Therapeutically reeducating macrophages to treat GBM

Christopher Garris et al. Nat Med. 2013 Oct.

Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common type of aggressive malignant brain cancer. The current lack of successful therapeutics means that this disease has a dismal prognosis. However, a new study in mice offers hope for patients with GBM by demonstrating the efficacy of a novel drug that targets GBM-associated macrophages (pages 1264–1272).
