PI3K activation in neural stem cells drives tumorigenesis which can be ameliorated by targeting the cAMP response element binding protein

Our findings present a novel mouse model for glioma demonstrating that the PI3K pathway is important for initiation of tumorigenesis

Partial trisomy 21 contributes to T-cell malignancies induced by JAK3-activating mutations in murine models

This JAK3A572V knockin model is a relevant new tool for testing the efficacy of JAK inhibitors in JAK3-related hematopoietic malignancies

Regular exercise improves the well-being of parents of children with cancer

Mental health benefits of a pedometer-based exercise intervention for parents of children with cancer were identified.

Immunogenicity and safety of single-dose, 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in pediatric and adolescent oncology patients

All children who are receiving therapy for cancer should receive a single dose of PCV13 as soon as possible after diagnosis, regardless of prior PCV exposure.

Contemporary survival endpoints: An international diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma registry study

This study defines PFS and OS, and is the first describe post-progression survival in a large cohort of children with DIPG.

A Phase I Study of the CDK4/6 Inhibitor Ribociclib (LEE011) in Pediatric Patients with Malignant Rhabdoid Tumors, Neuroblastoma, and Other Solid Tumors

In this. i study the MTD and RP2D, safety, PK, and preliminary activity of single-agent ribociclib were investigated in patients with neuroblastoma.

Fc-Engineered B7-H3 Antibody with Prolonged Serum Half-Life for Enhanced Cancer Therapy

Monoclonal antibodies are revolutionizing the landscape of current cancer treatment, bringing hope to patients with incurable cancers. B7-H3 (CD276) is an attractive therapeutic target for antibody-based therapy due to its low or absent expression in normal tissues and high expression in various types of tumors, including prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and high-mortality esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In recent years, various B7-H3-targeting antibodies have been developed for cancer treatment, with a few making their way to clinical trials.

Establishing a Clinically Relevant Radiation Therapy Method for Preclinical Medulloblastoma Research

Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is a cornerstone of pediatric brain cancer therapy, yet detailed, reproducible protocols for accurate CSI delivery in preclinical mouse models remain scarce, hindering translational research and the development of radiosensitizing strategies. We aimed to establish a clinically relevant, easily replicable radiation therapy protocol for medulloblastoma mouse models, providing a robust platform for preclinical evaluation of novel therapeutic combinations.

Myeloablative Busulfan, Fludarabine and Melphalan Conditioning for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Childhood Myeloid Malignancy

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is a proven curative therapy for children with high-risk myeloid malignancies. Disease relapse, transplant-related mortality and graft versus host disease (GvHD) are the main causes of treatment failure and death post-transplant. The optimum pretransplant conditioning regimen is yet to be defined. There is limited data regarding the use of busulfan, fludarabine and melphalan as a myeloablative conditioning regimen in children receiving HSCT for myeloid malignancies.
