Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Glial tumours remain an important cause of death. Altering the treatment prospects through targeting not only cancer cells but also the tumour microenvironment could be an optimal strategy to at least shift from a lethal to chronic pathology. In this regard, numerous studies in recent years have brought to light the important role of microglia in maintaining the tumour microenvironment favourable to tumour growth. This Special Issue aims to take stock of the situation and compare different molecular pathways and pharmacology strategies that can interact both at the microglial and tumour levels.
Basic research or translation research studies are welcomed, as are both original papers and short communications presenting data that have an important impact. Also of interest are reviews that focus mainly on molecular mechanisms and the impact of drugs that molecularly target gliomas.
