Review: The Role of Antibody-Based Therapies in Neuro-Oncology
Rishab Ramapriyan, William T. Curry, MD, Bryan D. Choi, MD, PhD, and colleagues describe the antibody-based therapies being used to treat glioblastoma and other central nervous system tumors, with special attention to the challenges of blood–brain barrier penetration and tumor-derived immunosuppression.

Rare IDH2-mutant Glioma Shares Common Molecular Targets With IDH1-mutant Glioma
Massachusetts General Hospital researchers provide evidence that gene alterations that activate the retinoblastoma and PDGFR pathways have a pivotal biological role in the progression of IDH2-mutant astrocytoma, which is equivalent to progressive IDH1-mutated glioma, and they identified potential drug targets.
