Data from a new fetal brain atlas has helped a science team discover a collection of progenitor cells that give rise to aggressive 'group 3' medulloblastomas. Findings include identifying two genes that may serve as treatment targets. Mice with these tumors lived longer when bred to express reduced activity of these genes.
