Revolutionizing Pediatric Cancer Research with PDXs - Ep 2.7

In this episode of the HemaSphere podcast, host Dr Charles de Bock discusses the critical role of mouse models in understanding leukemogenesis and hematopoiesis with Prof Richard Lock. They explore the significance of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) in preclinical testing, the challenges faced in generating PDXs for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and the importance of molecular characterization. The conversation also covers the objective response criteria in drug testing, the innovative single mouse trial approach, and the future of immunotherapy testing in PDX models.
