Predictable clonal hierarchies from restricted progenitors provide a framework for cell type-specific therapies in glioblastoma

Elisa Fazzari, Daria J. Azizad, Matthew X. Li, Weihong Ge, Shivani Baisiwala, Dimitri Cadet, Patricia R. Nano, Ryan L. Kan, Travis Perryman, Hong A. Tum, Christopher Tse, Brittney D Wick, Carolina Varona-Arguelles, Kunal S. Patel, Linda M. Liau, , Aparna Bhaduri

The paper maps clonal hierarchies in glioblastoma using lineage-resolved single-cell data, revealing multiple non-redundant progenitors and identifying cell type-specific therapeutic targets.

Beyond Cell Cycle Control: CDKN2A Loss Orchestrates NAD⁺ Metabolic Plasticity and NAMPT Inhibitor Sensitivity in Glioblastoma

Swati Dubey, Guanqiao Yu, Ryana Aboul-Hosn, Christopher Tse, David A. Nathanson, Albert Lai, Keith A. Vossel, Fausto J. Rodríguez

The paper shows CDKN2A loss in glioblastoma affects NAD+ metabolism and increases sensitivity to NAMPT inhibitors, beyond its role in cell cycle control.
