title: A niche role for periostin and macrophages in glioblastoma.
abstract: Macrophages facilitate tumour progression, but it is unclear whether this capability is influenced by tumour-initiating cells. Glioblastoma stem cells are now shown to secrete periostin, a matrix protein that recruits protumoral macrophages and enhances glioblastoma progression in mice.
