Somatic mutations and single-cell transcriptomes reveal the root of malignant rhabdoid tumours

Malignant rhabdoid tumours (MRT) have been suggested to originate in the ectoderm-derived neural crest. Here, the authors analyse MRTs using phylogenetics, scRNA-seq, and patient-derived organoids; they find evidence for an MRT origin in the neural crest lineage and suggest differentiation treatment...
