Journal Article
Griesinger, A. M., Riemondy, K., Eswaran, N., Donson, A. M., Willard, N., Prince, E. W., …Ritzmann, T. A. (2023). Multi-omic approach identifies hypoxic tumor-associated myeloid cells that drive immunobiology of high-risk pediatric ependymoma. iScience, 26(9), Article 107585. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2023.107585

Ependymoma (EPN) is a devastating childhood brain tumor. Single-cell analyses have illustrated the cellular heterogeneity of EPN tumors, identifying multiple neoplastic cell states including a mesenchymal-differentiated subpopulation which characteri...

Pediatric-type high-grade neuroepithelial tumors with CIC gene fusion share a common DNA methylation signature (2023)
Journal Article
Sievers, P., Sill, M., Schrimpf, D., Abdullaev, Z., Donson, A. M., Lake, J. A., …Jones, D. T. W. (in press). Pediatric-type high-grade neuroepithelial tumors with CIC gene fusion share a common DNA methylation signature. npj Precision Oncology, 7, Article 30. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41698-023-00372-1

Pediatric neoplasms in the central nervous system (CNS) show extensive clinical and molecular heterogeneity and are fundamentally different from those occurring in adults. Molecular genetic testing contributes to accurate diagnosis and enables an opt...

Background Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) measured using dynamic susceptibility-contrast MRI can differentiate between low- and high-grade pediatric brain tumors. Multicenter studies are required for translation into clinical practice. Obj...
