In this issue of Cancer Cell, Pei et al. and Kawauchi et al. describe murine models of an aggressive medulloblastoma subtype driven by Myc. These tumors have a cellular origin, microscopic appearance, and molecular profile distinct from those of three other major subgroups. Thus, the models fill a significant clinical need.
在本期《癌细胞》杂志中,Pei 等人和 Kawauchi 等人描述了由 Myc 驱动的侵袭性髓母细胞瘤亚型的小鼠模型。这些肿瘤在细胞起源、显微镜下表现和分子特征上与其他三个主要亚组不同。因此,这些模型满足了重要的临床需求。
