Malignant gliomas are brain tumors characterized by their aggressiveness and resistance to standard therapies; long-term survival after diagnosis with this tumor is rare. On the basis of specific signaling pathways that are commonly activated in gliomas, investigators have attempted to use reovirus, a tumor-killing virus that exploits these pathways, to treat gliomas in experimental systems. Wilcox et al. (p. 903) tested the activity of reovirus against a variety of human malignant glioma cell lines and human tumors grown in mice and found that the virus killed most of the cell lines
