Where this comes from

Abstract

Tumors are not simply a chaotic mass of mutated cells but can follow complex organizational principles, including in space. In this issue of Cell, Mathur and colleagues reconstruct a 3D genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic spatial cartograph of glioblastoma, offering a "whole-tumor" perspective with patterns of clonal expansion that are embedded in neurodevelopmental hierarchy.
