This study is directly relevant to the clinical care of patients with the most common malignant tumor of the peripheral nervous system, while providing fundamental biological insight👇 Harish N. Vasudevan @VasuLabUCSF & team @UCSF reveal transcriptional, functional genetic, and cellular mechanisms of interferon signaling that underlie radiotherapy response in people with #MPNST: doi.org/10.1172/JCI195652

NF1 is frequently mutated in #glioblastoma, yet therapies targeting this alteration often fall short. @VasuLabUCSF & team @UCSF now show NF1 mutant glioblastomas exhibit prognostic signatures with distinct sensitivity to MEK inhibition: insight.jci.org/articles/vie…

Happy 4th of July - to celebrate, we asked if there is meaningful heterogeneity within somatic NF1 mutant glioblastomas? We think so biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… As always, appreciate everyone that made this work possible @NeurosurgUCSF @UCSFCancer @ntapresearch @ChildrensTumor

Multiplatform molecular profiling and functional genomic screens identify prognostic signatures and...

NF1 is recurrently mutated in glioblastoma yet the molecular landscape and efficacy of targeted therapies remain unclear. Here, we combine bulk and single cell genomics of human somatic NF1 mutant,...

Additionally, in a study led by @VasuLabUCSF & @LabRaleigh, researchers demonstrate how NF-1 mutant Schwann cell tumors undergo malignant transformation, identifying new potential strategies against treatment resistance: nature.com/articles/s41467-0… @UCSFCancer #neurofibromatosis

Functional interactions between neurofibromatosis tumor suppressors underlie Schwann cell tumor...

Nature Communications - The molecular mechanisms underlying malignant transformation of the Schwann lineage in Schwann cell tumours remain to be explored. Here, the authors suggest that NF2...

Very proud of @LexiHaugh for her analysis of targeted DNA sequencing in cutaneous melanoma: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @ad1600

Targeted DNA Sequencing of Cutaneous Melanoma Identifies Prognostic and Predictive Alterations

Importance Cutaneous melanoma (CM) can be molecularly classified into four groups: BRAF mutant, NRAS mutant, NF1 loss, and triple wild type (TWT) tumors lacking any of these three alterations. In the...
