💨 Abstract

Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children in Ontario, Canada, have discovered a method to prevent tumor growth in a subtype of medulloblastoma, the most common malignant brain cancer in children. The researchers identified a protein that activates 'sleeping' stem cells, causing them to divide and form tumors. By blocking this protein, they were able to prevent tumor regrowth, demonstrating a potential treatment strategy for the cancer.
