Development of clinically relevant in vivo metastasis models using human bone discs and breast cancer patient-derived xenografts

Abstract Background Late-stage breast cancer preferentially metastasises to bone; despite advances in targeted therapies, this condition remains incurable. The lack of clinically relevant models for studying breast cancer metastasis to a human bone microenvironment has stunted the development of eff...
