Cover Story: Glioblastoma is the most lethal brain tumor with the poorest overall survival. Current standard treatments are not effective. Hence, the identification of novel strategies to treat this devastating pathology is crucial. In this context, the dysregulation of alternative splicing process represents a valuable source for the identification of novel diagnostic and prognostic tools, as well as therapeutic targets, in different tumor pathologies. This study unveils that the truncated splicing variant of the somatostatin receptor subtype 5 (sst5TMD4) is overexpressed and associated with enhanced malignancy features in human glioblastoma, demonstrating the potential utility of sst5TMD4 as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker. Furthermore, sst5TMD4 also represents a novel therapeutic target for glioblastoma patients. View this paper
