Introduction to Tumor Models for Research
Jun 04, 2021
The establishment of tumor animal models provide a powerful tool for studying the mechanism of tumorigenesis and metastasis, even validating the efficacy of anti-tumor drugs. Rodent models have many advantages in tumor research, such as fast breeding, low cost, and versatile genetic modification. These traits make them an indispensable tool for preclinical therapeutics screening. Read More >

Advancing Research with Humanized Mouse Models
May 20, 2021
A humanized mouse model is a broad term referring to a mouse engrafted with functional human genes, cells, or tissues. This type of model is usually used as an powerful in vivo model for preclinical study of human diseases. Humanized mouse models have become an important animal model for identifying how human genes impact development and disease. Read More >

What is a Knockin Mouse?
May 20, 2021
Gene knock-in (KI), a.k.a. knockin, mice are generated by introducing specific mutations or exogenous genes into specific sites of the target gene through homologous recombination, so that the expression of the gene knockin may be tracked through the expression of a reporter. Read More >
