Reply to comment by Xman1c in Astroblastomas exhibit radial glia stem cell lineages and differential expression of imprinted and X-inactivation escape genes - PubMed by Xman1c

Is it correct to simplify this as ‘new information will allow us to better treat brain tumors with medication’, or is that missing the point?

I don't think so. It's technically new information as far as where are these brain tumors arising (where the mutation(s) are occurring during fetal development to create astroblastomas). It's not completely new in the sense that these genes have been known just activation, order and silence has been unclear until now.
