Interactions Between Astrocytes and Tumor Cells are Critical for Medulloblastoma Growth…

Astrocytes, a subset of nervous system cells found in medulloblastoma, may support the growth and survival for a subset of medulloblastoma tumors. Using samples provided by the Children’s Brain Tumor Network, researchers will seek to validate previous results in hopes of advancing development of novel therapeutic options.
