Oncogene-Induced Senescence in RTK-fused Infant High Grade Gliomas…

Senescence refers to a cell that is in a stage where they do not divide, and researchers believe senescence could have a roll in the different behaviors of glioma in pediatric patients vs. adult patients. Using rare specimens from infants and children provided by the Children’s Brain Tumor Network, researchers will analyze senescence in glioma tissues in comparison to adult cancers.
