The conjugate, which they named «chemocoxib A,» reduced growth of COX - 2
positive tumors in mice by 50 percent, but didn't have any effect on tumors that didn't express the enzyme.
Shah next plans to rationally combine the toxin - secreting stem cells with a number of different therapeutic stem cells developed by his team to further enhance their
positive results
in mouse models of glioblastoma, the most common brain
tumor in human adults.
The new technology was tested
in mice for the ability to generate antibodies
in their blood stream that would target human PSMA as well as target PSMA -
positive tumors.
Of the 22 patients whose
tumors successfully grafted, six died before data from the
mice were available, but
in 13 of the remaining 16 cases, there was a positive correlation between mouse and human results.2 In a second study, performed in collaboration with Manuel Hidalgo of the Spanish National Cancer Research Center, the team found that 6 of 13 patients with advanced solid tumors who were treated based on results from personalized PDX mice had partial tumor remissions, even in cases where genetic sequencing of the tumor showed no actionable mutations

After embedding ER
positive / PR
positive breast
tumors in a number of
mice, they exposed some of the
mice to estrogen only, others to both estrogen and progesterone, and others to no hormones at all.
