DIPG, which stands for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, is considered a universally fatal disease. It can wreak its havoc quickly, and the five-year survival rate is below 1%. “These are ...
Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas, or DIPG, shackle themselves so insidiously around a young person’s brainstem that no chemo or scalpel can wrest them out. Most children didn’t survive a year.
The findings offer hope for children with a group of deadly brain and spinal cord tumors, including a cancer called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, or DIPG. The immune-cell therapy shrank ...
Our current research focus is on pediatric high grade glioma (pHGG) driven by histone mutations including H3G34R mutations observed hemispheric tumors and H3K27M mutations seen in diffuse intrinsic ...
The Jones laboratory is primarily focused on high grade gliomas which arise in children, either supratentorially, or within the brainstem. These tumours appear to have key biological and clinical ...
