  • Posted on October 23, 2014 by Pharma Models Blogging Team in Oncology

Pre-clinical cancer research – specifically drug development – often uses a standard procedure called tumor xenografting. This method essentially injects human cancer cell lines into mice to learn more about the mechanisms behind tumor growth and for developing effective cancer drugs, a paper published in Nature magazine explained. Subcutaneous xenografts, however, may have some limitations, as they are unable […]
