The Epigenetics of Medulloblastoma

open access: yes, 2015
Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor arising in the cerebellum or medulla/brain stem. Despite recent treatment advances, approximately 40% of children experience tumor recurrence and 30% will die from the disease.

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Contemporary evaluation and treatment of medulloblastoma

open access: yes, 2018
Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor affecting the pediatric population. Expansion of knowledge on biological profiles over the last decade identified four distinct molecular subgroups, including WNT, SHH, and non-WNT/non-SHH (Group 3

Evaluating the Utility of Paired Tumor and Germline Targeted DNA Sequencing for Pediatric Oncology Patients: A Single Institution Report

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic yield and utility of universal paired tumor–normal multigene panel sequencing in newly diagnosed pediatric solid and central nervous system (CNS) tumor patients and to compare the detection of germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (PV/LPVs) against established clinical referral criteria for cancer ...

Medulloblastoma tumor suppressor factor RENKCTD11: structure and function based design and development of new compounds of theraupetical interest.

open access: yes, 2009
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is suggested to be a major oncogenic pathway in medulloblastoma, which arises from aberrant development of cerebellar granule progenitors.

Combined MYC and P53 defects emerge at medulloblastoma relapse and define rapidly progressive, therapeutically targetable disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We undertook a comprehensive clinical and biological investigation of serial medulloblastoma biopsies obtained at diagnosis and relapse. CombinedMYCfamily amplifications and P53 pathway defects commonly emerged at relapse, and all patients in this group ...

Feasibility and Safety of High‐Dose Proton Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors: A Single‐Institution Retrospective Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors often recur despite multimodality therapy. Although re‐irradiation (re‐RT) has historically been limited by concerns for severe late toxicities, modern techniques have renewed interest in this approach. Proton therapy provides dosimetric advantages that may enable curative re‐treatment with

Assessing Cognitive Functioning in Children With Brain Tumors: Interaction of Neighborhood Social Determinants of Health and Neurological Risk

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 73, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background This study investigated how neighborhood‐level social determinants of health (SDOH), including redlining and neurological risk, interact to influence cognitive outcomes in children treated for brain tumors (CTBT). Methods A retrospective chart review of 161 CTBT aged 5–17 was conducted.

The transcription factor LHX2 mediates and enhances oncogenic BMP signaling in medulloblastoma

open access: yes
Oncogenic events perturb cerebellar development leading to medulloblastoma, a common childhood brain malignancy. Molecular analyses classify medulloblastoma into the WNT, SHH, Group 3 and Group 4 subgroups.

CRISPR‐Cas9 Genome‐Wide Screening in Paediatric Cancer: Functional Genomics for Target Discovery and the Improvement of Existing Therapies

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 989-1004, July 2026.
ABSTRACT CRISPR‐Cas9 genome‐wide screening has been instrumental towards identifying novel targets for drug discovery in cancer research. However, much of this research has centred specifically on adult cancers, with paediatric cancers being underserviced by current research and screening.
