A new study from researchers with the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) sheds light on why certain oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the adult brain transform into gliomas, the most common and incurable type of adult brain tumors. Previous work identified OPCs—dividing cells in the adult brain that play a crucial role in the brain’s maintenance—as one of the brain cell types that give rise to these tumors…
