“…GBM persistently communicates with its TME, and the TME contributes to the tumorigenesis and progression of GBM (reviewed in[ 79 , 80 ]). The GBM TME is extremely heterogeneous, consisting of the extracellular matrix, tumor cells such as glioma stem cells (GSCs), and non-tumor cells, including endothelial cells, pericytes, microglia, immune cells, oligodendrocytes, neurons, astrocytes and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (reviewed in[ 81 ]). Extracellular vesicles containing soluble proteins, DNA, mRNA and noncoding RNAs enable communication between the GBM and the TME, and these vesicles contribute to angiogenesis, invasion, evasion of apoptosis and resistance to drugs (reviewed in[ 82 , 83 ]).…”
