Purpose: More than 90% of children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) die within 2 years of diagnosis. There is a dire need to identify therapeutic targets, however lack of patient material for research has limited progress. We evaluated a large cohort of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas ...

Medulloblastoma is a heterogenous disease made up of at least four distinct subtypes of disease which appear to exploit and disrupt naturally occurring developmental pathways of cellular growth and hindbrain development. To better understand the driver mutations of this disease, we performed whol...

Medulloblastoma is a malignant childhood brain tumour comprising four discrete subgroups. To identify mutations that drive medulloblastoma we sequenced the entire genomes of 37 tumours and matched normal blood. One hundred and thirty-six genes harbouring somatic mutations in this discovery set wer...

Cancers are distributed unevenly across the body; but the importance of cell intrinsic factors such as stem cell function in determining organ cancer risk is unknown. Therefore, we used cre-recombination of conditional lineage tracing, oncogene and tumour suppressor alleles to define populations of...

Stem cells have long been regarded as a potential origin of cancer. But cancers could also arise from mutated, differentiated cells that reacquire stem cell properties. Here, in mice harboring conditional oncogenic and lineage tracing alleles, we show that cancers develop from Prom1+ (CD133) cells...
