The Immune Microenvironment of Glioma
Author(s): Sacra Dalma*
A glioma is a tumor that develops when glial cells proliferate uncontrollably. Normally, these cells nourish neurons and aid in the operation of your central nervous system. Gliomas are most commonly found in the brain, although they can also develop in the spinal cord. Gliomas are malignant (cancerous), however some may develop slowly.

The tactics that cancer cells attempt to avoid detection by the immune system help explain the.. View More»
