OncoRat® PDX Models Highlighted In Drug Discovery News (DDN) Special Report On Cancer: Aiming For Avatars

While advances in in-vitro platforms have allowed researchers to better visually monitor a variety of aspects of tumor biology, a significant limitation of 3D cultured models for patient therapeutic monitoring or “patient avatars” is the lack of important components, such as the influence of surrounding tissues and potential cell-to-cell interactions, when studying cancer progression, treatment responses and outcomes. Patient derived xenograft models or PDX models overcome these limitations and other research challenges and provide a platform that is believed to more closely mimic the patient tumor.
