Popis: Although the hedgehog (HH) pathway is known to be deregulated in medulloblastoma, inhibitors of the pathway have shown disappointing clinical benefit. Using single-cell sequencing in a mouse model of the disease, the authors show that the response to the HH pathway inhibitor vismodegib is cell-type specific.
