Metabolite buildup reveals how aggressive brain tumors activate nearby neurons
Virtually all high-grade, aggressive gliomas in adults accumulate massive amounts of a metabolite called guanidinoacetate (GAA) that overstimulates nearby neurons and promotes tumor growth, according to new research from scientists at Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) published in Cell.
