Abstract:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant primary brain tumor. Novel therapeutic development for GBM is desperately needed, as the standard of care universally fails to cure patients and the 5-year survival rate remains extremely low. GBM therapeutic development is hampered by the lack of relevant preclinical models for preclinical studies. To mitigate this problem, we have developed a genetic model of GBM in outbred, immune-proficient swine which have comparable brain size and anatomy to humans. We … Show more
