The components of the glioma immune microenvironment and their roles in promoting tumourigenesis remain poorly understood. Here, the use of single-cell RNA sequencing and multiplexed tissue-imaging in adult and pediatric high-grade gliomas reveals the activity and spatial organization of the immunomodulatory purinergic signaling pathway.
