1/4 Our @biorxivpreprint, 'Origin of Ewing Sarcoma by Embryonic Reprogramming of Neural Crest to Mesoderm' is now available on bioRxiv! In this study, we explore the enigmatic origin of Ewing sarcoma using our zebrafish genetic cancer models. We revealed that neural crest cells

Check out this impressive new study from the Grünewald Lab, revealing a novel way to target Ewing sarcoma cells via CXADR-mediated AKT signaling. Congratulations to Alina Ritter and Thomas Grünewald!.

I highly recommend these excellent workshops on data analysis. A big thank you to @CancerDataLab for doing such a great job – it is incredibly valuable to our pediatric community.
Hear from Drs. Eric Wafula and Elena Vasileva who sat down with us to share their experiences at Data Lab training workshops! Learn why they believe our #SingleCell #RNASeq courses are essential for #PediatricCancer researchers.

4/4 Taken together, these findings show how a single mutation profoundly alters embryonic cell fate decisions reprograming neural crest cells to a mesoderm-like state to initiate a devastating childhood cancer. @alexslemonade @NCICancerBio

3/4 We also observed striking reprogramming of neural crest cells to a mesoderm-like state, resulting in ectopic fins throughout the body. EWSR1::FLI1 hijacked the developmental program that included activation of HOX genes and FGFR signaling cascades during the formation of

2/4 In our model, targeted expression of EWSR1::FLI1 in neural crest cells resulted in the formation of tumors exhibiting mesenchymal features. But how does the trunk neural crest, a lineage that normally gives rise to glia, neurons, and pigment cells, produce mesenchymal tumors?
