Xenograft models to study stem and chemoresistant cells, and to assess the in vivo efficacy of new anti-cancer agents

We have recently contributed to establish a robust xenotransplantation model (NSG, NRG) to study the leukemic engraftment as well as the stem cell biology in acute leukemias. rnrnOthers and we also suggest that these highly immunocompromised mice represent a powerful in vivo model to screen new therapeutic strategies (kinase inhibitors, epigentic agents, metabolic agents) and to mimic the chemoresistance and minimal residual disease observed in leukemic patients after chemotherapy.rnrnThe study of the in vivo chemoresistance is crucial to improve therapeutic outcome of leukemia patients.

Interest / Relevance: Our expertise is relevant to study and develop new targets and agents in hematology and leukemia. rnrnOur skills with these xenograft models could also find othher applications in immunology (HIV), diabetes and other cancers.
