In low-grade gliomas, mutant forms of IDH1/2 trigger expression of tau, a protein typically associated with neurodegenerative disease that also inhibits EGFR signaling to impede tumor progression. The new findings provide a scientific rationale for pharmacologically mimicking the function of tau with microtubule-stabilizing drugs for the treatment of brain tumors.
