Researchers found a protein drives pediatric brain tumors by trapping cells in an immature state.
Researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine have discovered how the ZFTA-RELA fusion protein drives pediatric ependymoma by trapping brain cells in an immature state.
The study, published in Nature, shows this protein hijacks developmental gene programs to keep them permanently active, preventing normal cell maturation and enabling uncontrolled growth.
This mechanism explains why current treatments are often ineffective and offers new hope for targeted therapies.
