Stem Cells Found In Cerebellum; Possible Cell Of Origin For Childhood Brain Tumors

News Story: Full Text: " Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have discovered the presence of stem cells in the cerebellum, a brain region where a deadly type of brain tumor originates. Their findings suggest that such tumors, called medulloblastomas, could arise from stem cells gone awry.

The cerebellum is the brain's control center for motor coordination and cognitive function, yet little has been known about the origins of the neurons and supporting 'glial' cells that populate this region.

The Duke discovery of stem cells in the cerebellum suggests a possible origin for these normal cells and provides a starting point for understanding the basis of medulloblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumor in children, said the researchers."
