[PDF][PDF] Tumor evolution of glioma-intrinsic gene expression subtypes associates with immunological changes in the microenvironment

…, E Chang, CEG Sauvé, A Olar, ZD Lan, G Finocchiaro… - Cancer cell, 2017 - cell.com
We leveraged IDH wild-type glioblastomas, derivative neurospheres, and single-cell gene
expression profiles to define three tumor-intrinsic transcriptional subtypes designated as …

[PDF][PDF] Intertumoral heterogeneity within medulloblastoma subgroups

…, E López-Aguilar, K Zitterbart, J Sterba, G Finocchiaro… - Cancer cell, 2017 - cell.com
While molecular subgrouping has revolutionized medulloblastoma classification, the extent
