The chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane as a model for tumor biology.
نویسنده
چکیده
Among the in vivo models, the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) has been used to implant several tumor types as well as malignant cell lines to study their growth rate, angiogenic potential and metastatic capability. This review article is focused on the major compelling literature data on the use of the CAM to investigate tumor growth and the metastatic process.

متن کاملSystemic application of photosensitizers in the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model: photodynamic response of CAM vessels and 5-aminolevulinic acid uptake kinetics by transplantable tumors.
The aim of this study is to modify the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model into a whole-animal tumor model for photodynamic therapy (PDT). By using intraperitoneal (i.p.) photosensitizer injection of the chick embryo, use of the CAM for PDT has been extended to include systemic delivery as well as topical application of photosensitizers. The model has been tested for its capability to mi...
متن کاملChick Chorioallantoic Membrane Assay: A 3D Animal Model for Study of Human Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a highly invasive and metastatic head and neck cancer. However, mechanistic study of the invasion and metastasis of NPC has been hampered by the lack of proper in vivo models. We established an in vivo chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model to study NPC tumor biology. We found 100% micro-tumor formation 3 days after inoculation with NPC cell lines (4...

Introduction Side effects of drugs have always been controversial issues in medical science. To date, sufficient researches were not performed on the side and pathological effects of Teucrium polium as an herb in the fetus. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the pathological effects of Teucrium polium hydroalcoholic extract on chorioallantoic fluid composition, weight, growth, e...
