Molecular pathway found responsible for medulloblastoma
(AGI) Rome, Oct 13 - The molecular pathway responsible for thepropagation of the medulloblastoma has been detected. The newswas released by a group of La Sapienza and Istituto Pasteurresearchers based in Rome, who published this study ofmedulloblastoma, the most frequent type of brain cancer inchildren, in the journal 'Developmental Cell'. To date there isno effective approach for the treatment of medulloblastoma.There is only a new potential strategy to hinder its growth,i.e. interrupting the newly discovered molecular mechanismresponsible for the formation and propagation of the tumour.This research outcome lays a basis
