Somatic gene delivery for flexible in vivo modeling of high-risk sarcoma

This paper develops a mouse model for high-risk sarcoma by delivering genetic lesions via electroporation, generating multiple sarcoma types and validating their molecular and therapeutic relevance.

Genomic and phenotypic stability of fusion-driven pediatric Ewing sarcoma cell lines

This study compares genomic and phenotypic stability of pediatric Ewing sarcoma cell lines to adult carcinoma cell lines over 12 months of culture.

Spatial and temporal transcriptomics of SHH-medulloblastoma with chromothripsis identifies multiple genetic clones that resist to treatment and lead to relapse

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to analyze chromothriptic medulloblastomas, revealing higher intra-tumour heterogeneity, treatment resistance, and relapse mechanisms through clone-specific features.

Mapping pediatric brain tumors to their origins in the developing cerebellum

The paper maps the cellular origins of three common pediatric brain tumors using a single-nucleus atlas and transcriptome data, identifying lineage-specific origins and potential therapeutic targets.

Single cell multi-omics analysis of chromothriptic medulloblastoma highlights genomic and transcriptomic consequences of genome instability

This study analyzes single-cell multi-omics data from medulloblastoma to explore genomic and transcriptomic impacts of chromothripsis and its subclonal variation.

Recurrent fusions in PLAGL1 define a distinct subset of pediatric-type supratentorial ependymoma

The paper identifies a novel subset of supratentorial ependymomas in children characterized by recurrent PLAGL1 fusions and distinct molecular features.

A synergistic interaction between HDAC- and PARP inhibitors in childhood tumors with chromothripsis

The paper identifies a synergistic effect between HDAC and PARP inhibitors in childhood tumors with chromothripsis, validated through drug screening and in vivo models.

A subset of pediatric thalamic gliomas share a distinct DNA methylation profile, H3K27me3 loss and frequent alteration of EGFR

This study identifies a distinct subset of pediatric gliomas with EGFR alterations, H3K27me3 loss, and broad tumor localization, suggesting EGFR inhibition as a potential therapy.

Neoplastic and Immune single cell transcriptomics define subgroup-specific intra-tumoral heterogeneity of childhood medulloblastoma.

The paper uses single-cell transcriptomics to identify subgroup-specific neoplastic and immune cell heterogeneity in childhood medulloblastoma.
