Olig1/2-Expressing Intermediate Lineage Progenitors Are Predisposed to PTEN/p53-Loss–Induced Gliomagenesis and Harbor Specific Therapeutic Vulnerabilities

Multiple progenitor-state mutagenesis reveal that Olig1/2-expressing intermediate precursors are highly susceptible to PTEN/p53-loss-mediated transformation and impart differential drug sensitivity, indicating tumor-initiating cell states and genetic drivers dictate glioma phenotypes and drug responses.
