Medical researchers have used animals, particularly mice, to mimic disease and study biological phenomena. The origin of mice as a standard model system for scientific research can extend back to the ...

A new "tumor-on-a-chip" model is giving scientists a live look at how pancreatic cancer can recruit the body's own immune ...

The miniature models could exponentially accelerate vaccine development, cancer treatment research, and improved health outcomes across a spectrum of diseases. The left image shows the immune organ-on ...

A research team at the University of Turku in Finland has developed a reliable laboratory model to study BAP1-deficient ...

Researchers have created a powerful new cellular model to study rare tumors that are resistant to immunotherapies.

Scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have created an engineered model of the supportive tissue found within a lymph node to study human health. Working with scientists at ...

Cancer cells that disseminate from a tumor can enter a period of dormancy that may persist from months to decades before metastasis. Efforts to improve adjuvant therapy to remove residual cancer cells ...

Cancer immunotherapy drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can be miracle drugs for cancer patients, curing some and turning deadly disease into a manageable chronic condition in others.

Scientists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio have achieved a groundbreaking milestone by creating the world's first mouse model equipped with a fully functional human ...

Virginia Tech scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute completed one element of an engineered tissue model that could advance medical and drug testing and provide a new tool for ...
