Open AccessThe initial engraftment of tumor cells is critical for the future growth pattern: a mathematical study based on simulations and animal experiments
Xenograft mouse tumor models are used to study mechanisms of tumor growth and metastasis formation and to investigate the efficacy of different therapeutic interventions. After injection the engrafted cells fo...
