The host microenvironment plays a prominent role in tumor growth, angiogenesis, invasion, metastasis, and response to therapy. Orthotopic tumor model mimics the natural environment of tumor development and provides an effective approach to investigate tumor pathophysiology and develop therapeutic strategies. This protocol describes the technique involving injection of colorectal cancer cell sus...

Upon extensive review of literature, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy post orthotopic liver transplant has been reported in only few cases. Herein we present a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy post orthotopic liver transplantation. In our case, we aim to illustrate the importance of early recognition of this condition since stress induced cardiomyopathy is an underestimated cause of cardiac complicatio...
