## Abstract Detailed characterization of the cancer genome in a large number of primary human glioblastomas has identified recurrent alterations that result in deregulation of signal transduction pathways and are βdruggableβ with a growing number of small molecule pharmaceuticals. While many of the

## Abstract Malignant gliomas are relatively uncommon but lethal cancers. Despite recent research efforts in cancer therapy, the prognosis of patients with malignant gliomas has remained dismal. Understanding the molecular pathogenesis of glioma may lead to a rational development of new therapies.
Novel approaches to treatment of malignant glioma, the most frequently occurring primary brain tumor, have included the use of a wide range of oncolytic viral vectors. These vectors, either naturally tumor-selective, or engineered as such, have shown promise in the handful of phase I and phase II cl
Hexokinase plays an important role in glucose-utilizing tissues like normal brain and cancers. In these tissues, hexokinase (HK) is mainly bound to mitochondria (mHK). Our objectives were to evaluate total HK (tHK) activity and mHK fraction in gliomas and to determine whether mHK binding could be ta
