Treatment of adult brain tumors, in particular glioblastoma, remains a significant clinical challenge, despite modest advances in surgical technique, radiation, and chemotherapeutics. The formation of abnormal, dysfunctional tumor vasculature and glioma cell invasion along white matter tracts are be
## Abstract Several important and previously unrecognized roles for the neurotransmitter glutamate in the biology of primary brain tumors have recently been elucidated. Glutamate is produced and released from glioma cells via the system x~c~^β^ cystine glutamate transporter as a byproduct of glutat
## Abstract __RECK__ is an antiβtumoral gene whose activity has been associated with its inhibitory effects regulating MMPβ2, MMPβ9, and MT1βMMP. RECK level decreases as gliobastoma progresses, varying from less invasive grade II gliomas to very invasive human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Since R
