ACVR1 and H3.1K27M mutations co-occur in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Here, the authors generate a mouse model that recapitulates these genetic lesions and show, using genetic and pharmacological approaches, that the bone morphogenetic protein pathway may be a therapeutic target in these tumours.
