A Minimally Invasive Transthoracic Injection Technique for Reproducible Intrapleural Delivery in Mice

The development of standardised, reproducible preclinical models is essential for advancing pleural mesothelioma (PM) research. Here, we present a simple and reliable minimally invasive transthoracic intrapleural injection technique that could improve the efficiency of orthotopic PM model generation...
