Popis: Malawsky, Weir et al. compare medulloblastomas that form in mice engineered to express SmoM2, a constitutively active component of the Sonic hedgehog signaling pathway, starting in either neural progenitor or stem cells. Medulloblastomas in the two models show similar bulk transcriptomic profiles, but contain different fractions of tumor stem cells and different myeloid populations, and demonstrate different therapeutic responses.
