Studies involving cancer in animal models have progressed significantly and there are several mouse models in current use. As cancer risk is increased with obesity and metabolic comorbidities, certain diet-driven models have been employed to understand the underpinnings of the mechanisms involved in tumor development. Cancer models in combination with certain metabolic disease / obesity-inducing diets can drive further development of cancers.
High fat diets with 30 – 60 kcal% fat are commonly used for diet-induced obesity in mouse models and are frequently used in cancer studies involving various cancer models. In addition, there is a potential influence by gut microbiota to affect cancer development, thus diet choice and dietary controls should be properly considered when studying a diet-driven effect on tumor formation. We will outline:

Precise modeling of human immune responses for disease and therapeutic evaluation is possible in the highly immunodeficient NSG® platform. During this presentation, we will discuss strategies for immune-humanization to support translatable and predictive preclinical immunology and oncology research. Join us to learn about:
