Abstract: Gliomas are tumors that originate in the central nervous system from glial cells, being glioblastoma the most aggressive tumor, which is characterized by rapid and infiltrative growth, along with a poor prognosis owing to poor response to treatment. Glioblastoma is distinguished also by an abundant and aberrant vasculature, due to the tumor's ability to induce the formation of new vessels by mechanisms that mimic physiological angiogenesis. Knowledge of these processes, as well as molecules and cells involved, is useful for the discover of new therapeutic targets. In addition, the similarities observed between human and canine gliomas places this species as an ideal model for the study of gliomas.
