Injecting gene cocktail into mouse pancreas leads to humanlike tumors

(University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio) A researcher at UT Health San Antonio (The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio) has invented a unique method to generate, in mice, pancreatic tumors that resemble human pancreatic cancer. This will be a tool researchers can use to develop new drugs that extend patients' lives, and it is a tool researchers have not had at their disposal before.
