Based on genome sequencing, it is estimated that over 90% of genes stored in human genetic material are transcribed, but only 3% of them contain the information needed for the production of body proteins. This group also includes micro RNAs representing about 1%-3% of the human genome. Recent studies confirmed the hypothesis that targeting molecules called Immune Checkpoint (IC) open new opportunities to take control over glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Detection of markers that indicate the presence of the cancer occupies a very important place in modern oncology. This function can be performed by both the cancer cells themselves as well as their components and other substances detected in the patients' bodies. Efforts have been made for many years to find a suitable marker useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of gliomas, including glioblastoma.

Gliomas are common primary brain tumors in the central nervous system, characterized by invasiveness, heterogeneity, and drug resistance, posing a threat to patients' lives. Glioblastoma (IDH wild-type) exhibits the highest invasiveness and mortality rate, making it a challenging therapeutic target. This review first outlines the characteristics of gliomas and their impact on the nervous system, then explores the pathological mechanisms and unique behaviors of glioblastoma (IDH wild-type), as well as the influence of the nervous system on its occurrence and progression.

Brillouin microscopy allows mechanical investigations of biological materials at the subcellular level and can be integrated with Raman spectroscopy for simultaneous chemical mapping, thus enabling a more comprehensive interpretation of biomechanics. The present study investigates different in vitro glioblastoma models using a combination of Brillouin and Raman microspectroscopy. Spheroids of the U87-MG cell line and two patient-derived cell lines as well as patient-derived organoids were used.

Purpose: Identifying radiomics features that help predict whether glioblastoma patients are prone to developing epilepsy may contribute to an improvement of preventive treatment and a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology.
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, 3-T MRI data of 451 pretreatment glioblastoma patients (mean age: 61.2 ± 11.

Background: SLC16A3, a highly expressed H + -coupled symporter, facilitates lactate transport via monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), contributing to acidosis. Although SLC16A3 has been implicated in tumor development, its role in tumor immunity remains unclear.
Methods: A pan-cancer analysis was conducted using datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia, and Genotype-Tissue Expression projects.

Epithelioid glioblastoma (eGBM) is a rare subtype of glioblastoma, generally associated with a poorer prognosis than conventional GBM despite maximum resection and standard chemoradiotherapy. Here, we report a case of a 78-year-old man who presented with left hemiplegia and a well-circumscribed right frontal lobe lesion on imaging, initially suspected to be a metastatic brain tumor. Surgical resection revealed a firm, clearly demarcated mass.
