Neuroblastoma is composed of two super-enhancer-associated differentiation states

…, JJ Molenaar, GA Tytgat, BA Westerman, J Van Nes… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Neuroblastoma and other pediatric tumors show a paucity of gene mutations, which has
sparked an interest in their epigenetic regulation. Several tumor types include phenotypically …

LIN28B induces neuroblastoma and enhances MYCN levels via let-7 suppression

JJ Molenaar, R Domingo-Fernández, ME Ebus… - Nature …, 2012 - nature.com
LIN28B regulates developmental processes by modulating microRNAs (miRNAs) of the let-7
