Pediatric Tumors Traced to Stem Cells in Developing Brain

Neuroscience NewsJuly 9, 2012

Scientists showed in mice that disabling a gene linked to a common pediatric tumor disorder, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), made stem cells from one part of the brain proliferate rapidly. But the same genetic deficit had no effect on stem cells from another brain region.... Read More...
