Models of cell signaling uncover molecular mechanisms of high-risk neuroblastoma and predict disease outcome

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Despite the progress in neuroblastoma therapies the mortality of high-risk patients is still high (40-50%) and the molecular basis of the disease remains poorly known. Recently, a mathematical model was used to demonstrate that the network regulating stress signaling by the c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway played a crucial role in survival of patients with neuroblastoma irrespective of their MYCN...
