The role of macrophages in medulloblastoma, the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor, is unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing in a mouse model of sonic hedgehog medulloblastoma and analysis of bulk RNA sequencing of human medulloblastoma, we investigated macrophage heterogeneity. Our findings reveal differential recruitment of macrophages with molecular-targeted versus radiation therapy and identify an immunosuppressive monocyte-derived macrophages following radiation treatment of mouse medulloblastoma, uncovering potential strategies for immunomodulation as adjunctive therapy.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
