Identifying chemical carcinogens and assessing potential risk in short-term bioassays using transgenic mouse models.

Cancer is a worldwide public health concern. Identifying carcinogens and limiting their exposure is one approach to the problem of reducing risk. Currently, epidemiology and rodent bioassays are the means by which putative human carcinogens are identified. Both methods have intrinsic limitations: th...
