Protocol on the Primary Sarcoma Model

Our p53/MCA High Mutational Load Model of Soft Tissue Sarcoma Dr. Yvonne Mowery To recapitulate human soft tissue sarcoma (STS)  in the preclinical setting of our co-clinical trial, we generate a primary mouse model of STS by intramascular injection of adenovirus containing Cas9 gene and a guide RNA targeting p53 gene (Adeno-Cas9-sgRNAp53) and carcinogen 3-methylcholanthrene […]

The impact of respiratory gating

As part of our co-clinical trial studying immunotherapy and radiotherapy in sarcomas, we are using micro-CT of the lungs to detect and measure metastases as a metric of disease progression. In this study, we have addressed the impact of respiratory gating during micro-CT acquisition on improving lung tumor detection and volume quantitation. S. J. Blocker,M. […]
