Targeting the Serine/Glycine Synthesis Pathway in MYC-Driven Medulloblastoma Background Medulloblastoma is one of the most common malignant brain tumors in children, accounting for a significant proportion of childhood cancer deaths. Based on molecular characteristics, medulloblastoma is classified into four major subgroups: WNT, SHH, Group 3 (MBGr...
