Current Limitations of Murine Models in Oncology for Ascorbate Research
The role of vitamin C (ascorbate) in cancer prevention, tumor growth, and treatment is of intense public interest. Clinical trial data have been sparse, contradictory, and highly controversial, and robust pre-clinical data are required for progress. This paper reviews pre-clinical models and their limitations with respect to ascorbate research. Most studies have utilized animals able to synthes...
متن کاملCurrent Translational Research and Murine Models For Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration. Mutations in the DMD gene result in the absence of dystrophin, a protein required for muscle strength and stability. Currently, there is no cure for DMD. Since murine models are relatively easy to genetically manipulate, cost effective, and easily reproducible due to their short g...
متن کاملPre-Clinical Murine Models: Syngeneic Models for Immuno-Oncology
Experimental animal models are crucial in the study of the pathological development of cancer and evaluation of the efficacy of novel therapeutic or preventive agents. To date, several newer targeted therapeutics have been unsuccessful. Novel therapeutics that have often appeared to perform well in preclinical models have failed in the clinic. Many factors contribute to these failures, but the ...
متن کاملOvercoming current limitations in humanized mouse research.
Immunodeficient mice engrafted with human cells and tissues have provided an exciting alternative to in vitro studies with human tissues and nonhuman primates for the study of human immunobiology. A major breakthrough in the early 2000s was the introduction of a targeted mutation in the interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor common gamma chain (IL2rg(null)) into mice that were already deficient in T and...
متن کاملGeographical information systems: applications and limitations in oncology research.
The relationship between geography and cancer incidence and treatment is a critical area of health outcomes research. Geographical information systems (GIS) are software packages designed to store and analyze data related to geographic locations. Although more commonly associated with the social sciences and urban planning, the use of GIS software in medical research has been increasing. Moreov...
