Glioma stem cells (GSCs) secrete periostin (POSTN) to recruit and educate macrophages in glioblastoma (GBM). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are enriched in the POSTN-abundant perivascular niche in GBMs. GSC-secreted POSTN acts as a chemoattractant to recruit and maintain monocyte-derived M2 TAMs from the peripheral blood to promote GBM growth
