Abstract
Kumar et al. report a previously unappreciated level of metabolic zonation within glioblastoma tumors dictated by the relative distance from blood vessels. This metabolic zonation leads to position-dependent functional heterogeneity. Proximity to perfused vessels endows a “privileged” perivascular tier with a distinctive mTOR-dominated anabolic metabolism, enhanced cancer aggressiveness, and superior resistance to chemo- and radiotherapy.
