Genetically engineered mice for cancer research design, analysis, pathways, validation and pre-clinical testing /

<p>Technological advances in manipulating the mouse genome has led to the development of sophisticated genetically-engineered models of human cancer that recapitulate many molecular, biologic and histologic features of human tumors.  This book provides an overview of the design considerations...
