Controlling COR Competence: BCL-6 Regulates Neurogenesis and Tumor Suppression

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Tiberi and colleagues describe a tumor-suppressor role for BCL6. In the cerebellum, BCL6 is required for the transition from proliferative precursor cell to a more differentiated immature neuron through repressing the expression of Hedgehog effectors, thus controlling a pathway that is aberrantly activated in medulloblastoma
