Cover Story: The intra- and intertumor heterogeneity of cell types and gene mutations as well as the complexity of the microenvironment contribute to limiting the efficacy of the current therapeutic options for high grade glioma. This is further complicated by the presence of several noncoding microRNA whose role is still under evaluation. In this scenario, the identification of molecular biomarkers of response and the use of a multimodal in vivo imaging approach represent unique tools for better understanding tumor features, with the final goal of identifying a cluster of patients that are potential responders to personalized medicine.
