## Abstract Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) expression is strongly correlated with the degree of human glioma malignancy and necessary for tumor formation in a mouse model of spontaneous astrocytomas. Yet, exactly how IL‐6 contributes to malignant progression of these brain tumors is still unclear. We have sc
