Peds OncoTalk: A Curriculum to Teach Communication Skills to Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellows
ABSTRACT Background Peds OncoTalk is a novel curriculum for Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (PHO) fellows to learn key communication skills to deliver cancer care using validated principles. Interpersonal and communication skills are core competencies for Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)‐accredited PHO fellowship.

CRISPRi-based radiation modifier screen identifies long non-coding RNA therapeutic targets in glioma. [PDF]
BackgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) exhibit highly cell type-specific expression and function, making this class of transcript attractive for targeted cancer therapy.

Our findings delineate a novel regulatory network that integrates metabolic and GSCs self‐renewal in GBM. By integrating genetic ODC ablation with multiomic profiling, we redefine polyamine metabolism as a linchpin of GSCs self‐renewal, a dependency exploitable through precision gene editing.

Convection enhanced delivery of panobinostat (LBH589)-loaded pluronic nano-micelles prolongs survival in the F98 rat glioma model [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat is a potential therapy for malignant glioma, but it is water insoluble and does not cross the blood–brain barrier when administered systemically. In this article, we describe the in vitro and

Cancer Neuroscience: Decoding Neural Circuitry in Tumor Evolution for Targeted Therapy
This review highlights the pivotal role of the nervous system in cancer progression, emphasizing how neural–tumor interactions—via synaptic signaling, neurotransmitters, and paracrine factors—reshape the tumor microenvironment. It introduces cancer neuroscience as an emerging field and proposes integrating advanced tools such as AI and optogenetics to ...

Histone H3.3 mutations drive pediatric glioblastoma through upregulation of MYCN [PDF]
Children and young adults with glioblastoma (GBM) have a median survival rate of only 12 to 15 months, and these GBMs are clinically and biologically distinct from histologically similar cancers in older adults.

Whole-genome sequencing identifies genetic alterations in pediatric low-grade gliomas [PDF]
The most common pediatric brain tumors are low-grade gliomas (LGGs). We used whole-genome sequencing to identify multiple new genetic alterations involving BRAF, RAF1, FGFR1, MYB, MYBL1 and genes with histone-related functions, including H3F3A and ATRX ...

CDK4/6 and PDGFRA Signaling as Therapeutic Targets in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma
Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are incurable childhood brain tumors, whereby the standard of care is focal radiation, a treatment that provides temporary relief for most patients.
