In this ‘peek behind the paper’, we take a look behind the scenes of a recent Preliminary Communication from CNS Oncology entitled, 'Glioma induced alterations in fecal short-chain fatty acids and neurotransmitters'. Here, we ask corresponding author Yoshua Esquenazi (The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, TX, USA) about his study investigating fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and neurotransmitter alterations in a mouse glioma model and glioma patients. Yoshua also speaks about the greatest challenges encountered while conducting this research, including what further steps are required to advance our knowledge in this field of research. Could you briefly describe your study...
