Abstract excerpt
Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are highly aggressive, WHO grade 4 glial tumors that arise in midline central nervous system structures and are defined by K27M mutations in histone H3 genes. These K27M mutations shape intratumoral myeloid cell composition in DMG. In H3.1K27M DMGs, genetic ablation of monocyte recruitment reshapes the tumor microenvironment (TME) by reducing monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) and...
