Acquired radioresistance is a challenge for the cure of glioblastoma. Here, the authors show that radioresistant glioblastoma boosts mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation that fuels cell proliferation and induces immunosuppression via CD47 mediated anti-phagocytosis. Inhibition of FAO by etomoxir combined with anti-CD47 antibodies sensitizes glioblastoma to radiotherapy.
