Recent advances in the developmental origin of neuroblastoma: an overview
11 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Neuroblastoma (NB) is a pediatric tumor that originates from neural crest-derived cells undergoing a defective differentiation due to genomic and epigenetic impairments. Therefore, NB may arise at any final site reached by migrating neural crest cells (NCCs) and their progeny, preferentially in the adrenal medulla or in the para-spinal ganglia.NB shows a remarkable genetic heterogeneity including several...
