While prior studies report Fn14 expression in non-tumor cells within the GBM tumor microenvironment (TME), their relative contributions to glioma pathobiology remain unclear.<h4>Methods</h4>Using tumor-host pairings of Fn14-positive and -knockout (-KO) cells and mice, we examined the role of Fn14 in glioma biology. Here, TNFRSF12A is linked to glioblastoma.
