The Future of Cancer Treatment: Cutting-Edge Advances in Immuno-Oncology
November 8, 2024
Imagine a future where cancer treatment is as precise and personalized as it is powerful, where the body’s own defenses are guided to hunt down and destroy tumors. This vision is becoming reality through immuno-oncology (IO), a transformative field empowering the immune system to selectively attack cancer cells. Unlike traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation, […]
From Target to Therapeutics with Humanized Mouse Models
July 29, 2024
Ever wondered how cutting-edge medical research translates lab findings into real-world treatments? At the forefront of this transformation are humanized mice. These lab partners are engineered to carry human elements such as DNA, cells, and immune systems, among others. By incorporating human biological components, humanized mouse models provide a more accurate simulation of human physiological […]
Research Impact: Custom Biocytogen mouse models used to identify critical mediator of inflammation-driven metastases
September 7, 2022
By John Charpentier, Ph.D. September 7, 2022 While metastases are ultimately responsible for the large majority of cancer deaths, most oncology drugs in development target primary tumors, and few specifically prevent metastasis. Although surgical resection of solid tumors is an effective early treatment intervention, the resulting inflammation can promote metastasis by increasing adhesion of circulating […]
