The Controversial Role of Microglia in Malignant Gliomas by Jun Wei, Konrad Gabrusiewicz, Amy Heimberger

“…Malignant gliomas contain stroma and a variety of immune cells including abundant activated microglia/macrophages. Mounting evidence indicates that the glioma microenvironment converts the glioma-associated microglia/macrophages (GAMs) into glioma-supportive, immunosuppressive cells; however, GAMs can retain intrinsic anti-tumor properties. …”

The Role of Microglia and Matrix Metalloproteinases Involvement in Neuroinflammation and Gliomas by Helen Könnecke, Ingo Bechmann

“…This review elucidates pathomechanisms and summarizes the current knowledge of the involvement of MMPs in neuroinflammation and glioma, invasion highlighting microglia as major sources of MMPs. The induction of expression, suppression, and multiple pathways of function of MMPs in these scenarios will also be discussed. …”
