Functional and therapeutic effects of Glabrescione B delivery by liposomes on Hedgehog-dependent tumors. (PubMed, Drug Deliv Transl Res)
Further, pharmacokinetic studies in mice revealed improved plasma disposition, higher AUC, and slower elimination for Lipo/GlaB compared to the free drug. These findings support the therapeutic value of Lipo/GlaB as a selective and potent strategy for targeting HH-dependent cancers, offering improved biopharmaceutical properties and in vivo efficacy compared to non-formulated GlaB.

An integrated approach to molecular profiling supports precision diagnosis of pediatric medulloblastoma in Argentina amid the resource-constrained setting. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Low-cost methods resolved 90% of cases; NanoString clarified the remainder, achieving 98.8% precision. This first molecular characterization of pediatric MB in Argentina demonstrates that a tiered, conventional-tools-based approach can deliver high diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value, supporting its integration into routine care in resource-limited settings.

Isocitrate Dehydrogenase-Mutant WHO Grade 4 Astrocytoma with BCOR Alteration: Case Report. (PubMed, Case Rep Oncol)
This case represents the first report of a BCOR ITD in an IDH-mutant WHO grade 4 astrocytoma. The discovery expands the molecular spectrum of high-grade astrocytomas and highlights the need for further research into the biological, prognostic, and therapeutic significance of BCOR alterations in these tumors.

GPC6 facilitates progression of SHH-subgroup medulloblastoma by enhancing Hedgehog secretion and signaling responses. (PubMed, J Biomed Res)
Consistently, GPC6 enhanced SHH pathway activity by upregulating GLI1 expression, supported ciliogenesis that is essential for signal transduction, and facilitated the secretion of SHH ligands via extracellular vesicles. These findings establish GPC6 as a critical regulator of SHH-MB progression and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target.

Patient-derived tumoroids recapitulate the morphologic and molecular features of pediatric brain tumors. (PubMed, NPJ Precis Oncol)
Immunofluorescence, NGS analysis, and DNA methylation profiling revealed that the PDTs faithfully mirrored the cellular nature, the genetic and epigenetic landscape of their matched primary tumors. Our study shows the feasibility of generating PDTs, even from rarer entities, that recapitulate the genetic and epigenetic features of primary tumors, highlighting their potential as models for tumor biology studies and precision medicine.

Single-cell multi-omics identifies metabolism-linked epigenetic reprogramming as a driver of therapy-resistant medulloblastoma. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
IDH1 inhibition reverses resistance-mediated chromatin changes and enables radiation re-sensitization. Ultimately, these findings demonstrate the efficacy of single-cell multiome analysis in elucidating resistance mechanisms and identifying targetable pathways for MYC-driven medulloblastoma.
