This paper creates a multi-omics atlas of human hindbrain development, revealing cellular diversity, regulatory programs, and disease relevance.

The paper uses single-cell technologies to show that large-scale chromosomal aberrations drive medulloblastoma initiation, while single-gene oncogenic events like MYC contribute to progression and therapy resistance.

This study identifies cell-state plasticity as a driver of heterogeneity in Group 3/4 medulloblastomas, showing that transcription factor perturbation can redirect tumor cells along different differentiation trajectories.
