Glioblastoma is a deadly brain tumor with no cure. The cytokine receptor OSMR is identified as a new key player in glioblastoma pathogenesis. OSMR orchestrates a feed-forward mechanism with the oncogenic protein EGFRvIII and the transcription factor STAT3 to drive oncogenesis. Loss of OSMR impairs EGFRvIII-STAT3 signaling and glioblastoma tumorigenesis.
