Article Title: | Mouse models of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma |
Abstract: | Only 10% to 15% of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are candidates for potentially curative surgery due to the location or spread of disease at the time of diagnosis. Despite rapid progress in the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying PDAC, translation to effective therapies has been modest at best. One of the key tools available for studying biology and developing more effective therapeutics is the laboratory mouse, mus musculus. This article explores new and innovative approaches to mouse modeling and how these approaches can be utilized to move the field forward. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.. |
