Colorectal Cancer Patient-derived Xenografts

Invention SummaryA method for creating in vivo patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models for colorectal cancer patients has been developed. These models are being made by inserting a fresh piece of a patient’s tumor into an appropriate anatomical location on immune-deficient mice. This allows for a more personalized and high-fidelity model of individual...

Highly Characterized, Clinically Relevant Tumorgrafts as Models of Breast Cancer

Technology Summary: University of Utah researchers have generated the first publicly available collection of orthotopic breast tumorgrafts. These novel models for breast tumor growth and metastasis are in the form of highly characterized, transplantable tumors derived from patients, engrafted directly into the mammary glands of mice. The technique...
