Abstract

To this day, glioblastoma (GBM) remains an incurable brain tumor. Previous research has shown that metformin, an oral anti-diabetic drug, may decrease GBM cell proliferation and migration especially in brain tumor initiating cells (BTICs). As transforming growth factor 2 (TGF-(2)) has been reported to promote high-grade glioma and is inhibited by metformin in other tumors, we explored whether ...
