Some Brain Tumors Mimic the Genetic Program of Germline Cells

ScienceDaily (Dec. 23, 2010) — Scientists at IRB Barcelona have discovered that some brain tumors in larvae of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster use the genetic program of germline cells to grow. The removal of some of these genes leads to healthy brains. This finding demonstrates that these genes are crucial for tumor development.
