Volker Hovestadt, Kyle S. Smith, Laure Bihannic, Mariella G. Filbin together led this study of medulloblastoma cellular heterogeneity. Congratulations to the team! Medulloblastoma is a malignant childhood cerebellar tumor type that comprises distinct molecular subgroups. Whereas genomic characteristics of these subgroups are well defined, the extent to which cellular diversity underlies their divergent biology and … Continued

Yotam Drier (Bernstein lab) and Paloma Cejas (Shivdasani lab at DFCI) describe how enhancer signatures in non-functional PNET tumors can be used to stratify subtypes and predict patient outcomes. Read the paper in Nature Medicine. This was a great collaboration between the Bernstein lab at MGH, the Shivdasani lab at DFCI, several teams of clinicians … Continued
