Neuro-Oncology Advances, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/noajnl/vdab030

Background: Therapeutic intervention in metastatic medulloblastoma is dependent upon elucidating the underlying metastatic mechanism. We investigated whether an epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT)-like pathway could drive medulloblastoma metastasi...
