Humanized Xenograft Models: Immune-Relevant Systems

December 1, 2025

Introduction Traditional xenograft models provide valuable insights into tumor biology and therapeutic efficacy but are fundamentally limited in their ability to evaluate immunotherapies. Since immunodeficient murine hosts lack functional adaptive

Modeling Intratumoral Heterogeneity and Clonal Evolution Using PDX Systems

November 1, 2025

Introduction Intratumoral heterogeneity is a defining feature of human cancers and a primary driver of therapeutic resistance. Conventional in vitro models fail to capture the dynamic interplay between co-existing subclones,

Patient-Derived Xenografts (PDX): Foundations & Workflow

October 1, 2025

Introduction Patient-Derived Xenografts (PDX) represent one of the most translationally relevant in vivo cancer models available to preclinical research. By directly implanting tumor fragments harvested from patients into immunodeficient mice,

Fundamentals of Xenograft Models in Preclinical Oncology

September 1, 2025

Introduction Xenograft models are indispensable tools in oncology research, providing a physiologically relevant in vivo platform to study tumor biology, evaluate therapeutic responses, and bridge the translational gap between preclinical
