Fantastic work from first author @elizabetha_coop and the team, revealing a new immune pathway with real therapeutic promise for childhood brain cancers.👏🎉🎊 @NatureGenet @CRUK_CI
nature.com/articles/s41588-0…
A newly discovered immune pathway could lead to gentler treatments for multiple childhood brain cancers, according to new research from our @Gilbertson_Lab published today in @NatureGenet .
Listen to first author @elizabetha_coop discuss their findings.
