Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstruction of functionally normal and malignant human breast tissues in mice
Charlotte Kuperwasser,Tony E. Chavarria,Min Wu,Greg Magrane,Joe W. Gray,Loucinda Carey,Andrea L. Richardson,Robert A. Weinberg +7 more
TL;DR: An orthotopic xenograft model is developed in which both the stromal and epithelial components of the reconstructed mammary gland are of human origin, allowing for studies of human epithelial morphogenesis and differentiation in vivo and underscores the critical role of heterotypic interactions in human breast development and carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissecting genetic requirements of human breast tumorigenesis in a tissue transgenic model of human breast cancer in mice
Min Wu,Lina Jung,Adrian Cooper,Christina Fleet,Lihao Chen,Lyne Breault,Zuhua Cai,Sylvie Vincent,Steve Bottega,Qiong Shen,Andrea L. Richardson,Marcus Bosenburg,Stephen P. Naber,Ronald A. DePinho,Charlotte Kuperwasser,Murray O. Robinson +15 more
TL;DR: The generation and utilization of the human breast cancer in mouse (HIM) model is reported, which is composed of genetically engineered primary human breast epithelial organoids and activated human breast stromal cells, which holds great potential for advancing basic understanding of cancer biology and for the discovery and testing of targeted therapies.
Patent
Reconstituted human breast tumor model
TL;DR: A reconstituted human breast tumor model was disclosed in this article, which provided actual tumors that arise spontaneously, thereby mimicking naturally occurring breast cancer, and the tumors were genetically human, because they arise from human mammary tissues that develop from human breast epithelial cells implanted into host mice.
Book ChapterDOI
Genetically Engineered Mouse Models of Human Cancer for Drug Discovery and Development
TL;DR: Improved mouse models permit a new concept of preclinical trials in which the efficacy of novel drugs can be tested against spontaneous tumors and selection of the right model will be of increasing importance in the search for efficacious human therapeutics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human-in-mouse breast cancer model.
Min Wu,Murray O. Robinson +1 more
TL;DR: The results obtained allowed us to assess the importance of knowing the carrier and removal status of canine coronavirus, as a source of infection for other animals, not necessarily belonging to the same breeds.
