MSC mitochondria modify the usage of metabolites by GCSs in response to TMZ CTRL Mito TMZ CTRL Mito Mito TMZ (A) Metabolic substrate consumption of GSCs expressed as metabolite initial consumption rates (Biolog MitoPlates). Mean values ± SEM (4 independent experiments). (B) Production of cis-aconitate, succinate and L-malate expressed as a percentage of all TCA metabolites produced in each experimental condition. Tukey boxplots with one-way ANOVA, *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.

ARTICLE ABSTRACT
Mitochondria acquired from MSCs enhance the chemoresistance of GBMs. The discovery that they also generate metabolic vulnerability in GSCs paves the way for novel therapeutic approaches.
