Abstract:Pediatric diffuse midline gliomas are lethal cancers, the majority of which harbor the H3 p.K27M mutations. Although it has potential implications on the treatment of diffuse midline glioma as a disease driver; the timing, cell type of origin, and effect of the H3 p.K27M mutation on early embryonic brain development is poorly understood. The purpose of our study is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which the histone H3 p.K27M mutation drives tumorigenesis of pediatric diffuse midline gliomas using the a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
