Characterization of dysregulated glutamine metabolism in human glioma tissue with 1H NMR

Abstract Gliomas are one of the most common types of brain tumors. Given low survival and high treatment resistance rates, particularly for high grade gliomas, there is a need for specific biomarkers that can be used to stratify patients for therapy and monitor treatment response. Recent work has de...
