An efficient method for the transduction of primary pediatric glioma neurospheres
Pediatric high grade glioma (pHGG) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) are rare, but rapidly fatal malignancies of the central nervous system (CNS), and the leading cause of cancer-related death in children.

DIPG-01. Targeting p300: A master regulator of childhood diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG)
Abstract Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) are heterogeneous, highly aggressive, accounting for ~10% of all childhood central nervous system tumors that are poorly understood. The heterogeneity of the cell populations could contribute to major variability in tumor growth and chemoresistance followed by inadequate treatment ...

DIPG-18. IDENTIFICATION OF TARGETABLE PATHWAY DEPENDENCIES IN DIFFUSE INTRINSIC PONTINE GLIOMA [PDF]
Abstract Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is a highly aggressive paediatric brainstem tumour with a dismal prognosis. Recurrent heterozygous mutations (p.K27M) in Histone H3 variant genes have been identified in the majority of DIPG cases.

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma: poised for progress [PDF]
Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are amongst the most challenging tumors to treat. Surgery is not an option, the effects of radiation therapy are temporary, and no chemotherapeutic agent has demonstrated significant efficacy.

In vitro drug response and efflux transporters associated with drug resistance in pediatric high grade glioma and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. [PDF]
Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG), including diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG), are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. While it is clear that surgery (if possible), and radiotherapy are beneficial for treatment, the role of ...

Development of the SIOPE DIPG network, registry and imaging repository : a collaborative effort to optimize research into a rare and lethal disease [PDF]
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare and deadly childhood malignancy. After 40 years of mostly single-center, often non-randomized trials with variable patient inclusions, there has been no improvement in survival.

Investigating The Potential for Immunotherapies in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and has significant economic, social, and emotional effects. Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a rare type of cancer, is a devastating pediatric brain tumor that currently has no effective therapy.

PPM1D mutations silence NAPRT gene expression and confer NAMPT inhibitor sensitivity in glioma
Mutations in the Protein Phosphatase PPM1D are oncogenic in certain cancers including diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). Here, the authors show that PPM1D mutations in DIPG induce the silencing of the nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase gene ...
