Ascl1 phospho-status regulates neuronal differentiation in a Xenopus developmental model of neuroblastoma

Abstract excerpt

Neuroblastoma (NB), although rare, accounts for 15% of all paediatric cancer mortality. Unusual among cancers, NBs lack a consistent set of gene mutations and, excluding large-scale chromosomal rearrangements, the genome seems to be largely intact. Indeed, many interesting features of NB suggest that it has little in common with adult solid tumours but instead has characteristics of a developmental disorder. NB...
