How glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) interact to promote progression of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is currently unclear. Here, the authors demonstrate a role for the ARS2/MAGL signalling in regulating self-renewal and tumorigenicity of GSCs and M2-like TAM polarization.
