A Cre-conditional MYCN-driven neuroblastoma mouse model as an improved tool for preclinical studies
1 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
Neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer that originates from neural crest-derived cells, is the most common deadly solid tumor of infancy. Amplification of the MYCN oncogene, which occurs in approximately 20-25% of human neuroblastomas, is the most prominent genetic marker of high-stage disease. The availability of valid preclinical in vivo models is a prerequisite to develop novel targeted therapies. We here report on...
