Genetically engineered mouse models in oncology research and cancer medicine
Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) have contributed significantly to the field of cancer research. In contrast to cancer cell inoculation models, GEMMs develop de novo tumors in a natural immune-proficient microenvironment. Tumors arising in advanced GEMMs closely mimic the histopathological and molecular features of their human counterparts, display genetic heterogeneity, and are able...
متن کاملSafety Considerations for Genetically Engineered Rice
Rice feeds more than half of the world’s population. In much of Asia, rice is the staple food. The highest producing countries of rice are in Asia; in 2004, China produced 177,434,000 Mt (metric ton) of rice paddy, India produced 129,000,000 Mt and Indonesia produced 54,060,816 Mt (FAOSTAT 2005). Agricultural biotechnology has been developing at a rapid pace, and genetic engineering has been pr...
متن کاملGenetically Engineered Mouse Models of Pituitary Tumors
Animal models constitute valuable tools for investigating the pathogenesis of cancer as well as for preclinical testing of novel therapeutics approaches. However, the pathogenic mechanisms of pituitary-tumor formation remain poorly understood, particularly in sporadic adenomas, thus, making it a challenge to model pituitary tumors in mice. Nevertheless, genetically engineered mouse models (GEMM...
متن کاملGenetically engineered mouse models of prostate cancer.
Despite major improvement in treatment of early stage localised prostate cancer, the distinction between indolent tumors and those that will become aggressive, as well as the lack of efficient therapies of advanced prostate cancer, remain major health problems. Genetically engineered mice (GEM) have been extensively used to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying prostate t...
متن کاملGenetically Engineered Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell – derived Cardiomyocytes as a Suitable Model on Drugs Toxicity In vitro
Background DOX is a powerful chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of solid tumors and malignant hematological diseases. However, its cardiac toxicity limits the clinical usefulness of this drug. Previous reports have shown Corticosteroids induce a cytoprotective effect on cardiomyocytes. Mouse transgenic embryonic stem cell-derived pure cardiomyocytes may be considered as a model for a...
