A SHHecret target of relapsed medulloblastoma: Astrocytes

Abstract

In this issue of JEM, Guo et al. (2021. J. Exp. Med.https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20202350) examine the importance of tumor-derived astrocytes in SHH-medulloblastoma recurrence. They show that tumor cells transdifferentiate to tumor-derived astrocytes via bone morphogenetic proteins and Sox9, which excitingly can be targeted by BMP inhibitors.
