abstract = {Adult-type diffuse gliomas, the most common primary brain
tumors, respond poorly to immune-based therapies and are
considered immunologically 'cold' tumors. Here, we examined
the features and clinical relevance of glioma intratumoral
tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) using spatial
transcriptome and proteome profiling. In a cohort of 642
gliomas, TLSs were present in $15\%$ of tumors and
associated with a remodeled perivascular space and spatial
redistribution of extracellular matrix components. Three
distinct TLS subtypes could be defined based on differing
cellular composition and immune activity. While all subtypes
lacked classical germinal center architecture, certain TLSs
exhibited features of dynamic immune functions, including
clonal T and B cell expansion, generation of IgA⁺ and
IgG⁺ plasma cells, and dendritic cell-T cell interactions.
The presence of TLSs with active immune response features
correlated with improved overall survival. Thus, a
functional adaptive immune response is detectable in some
gliomas, with implications for stratification and
treatment.},
