abstractText | Medulloblastoma driven by Wnt/beta-catenin and Sonic hedgehog pathway mutations show favorable and poor patient survival upon treatment, respectively. In this Cancer Cell issue, Phoenix and colleagues (2016) report disruption of the blood-brain barrier by Wif1 specifically in Wnt-driven medulloblastoma, resulting in increased treatment response and survival in mouse models. |
