Conditional mouse models of sporadic cancer.

Abstract excerpt

First-generation mouse tumour models, which used transgenic mice or conventional knockouts, are now being superseded by models that are based on conditional knockouts and mice that carry regulatable oncogenes. In these mice, somatic mutations can be induced in a tissue-specific and time-controlled fashion, which more faithfully mimics sporadic tumour formation. These second-generation models provide exciting new...
