Application of a 3D hydrogel-based model to replace use of animals for passaging patient-derived xenografts

Currently, in vivo mouse models are the gold standard for testing cancer treatments before progression to human trials, often using tissue derived directly from patient tumours (patient-derived xenografts, PDXs) propagated in mice to generate sufficient cells for an experiment. A 3D in vitro system...
