Al's Comment:
This is for a new treatment for pediatric brain tumors that have a certain mutation. Almost all DIPG patients have it and some high grade glioma patients have it, especially those near the midline of the brain. Fascinating but highly technical article. Bottom line is that it led to a clinical trial for kids with this mutation.
