The Human Cancer Model Initiative is an international collaboration to develop the next - generation
of cancer cell models as a resource for the scientific community.
Additionally, overexpression of POSTN in human mammary epithelial and breast cancer cells resulted in enhanced tumor growth and metastasis (Wang et al., 2013), which is similar to a
colon cancer cell model where overexpression of POSTN resulted in an increase in the number and size of liver metastases (Bao et al., 2004).
They found that deguelin had the capacity to kill both types of cell, but the dose required to kill cells with PTEN (the normal cell model) was 500 times higher than the dose required to kill cells without PTEN (
the cancer cell model).
Optimal control of
a cancer cell model with delay.
«Recent research projects at Abertay have applied computer game technologies to police armed - response training,
cancer cell modelling and the virtualisation of historic keyboard instruments,» says McAlpine.
