New model to study peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin

The Vermeulen lab and collaborators created a murine model to study peritoneal metastases, a common and poor prognosis disease. The established murine model recapitulates heterogeneity as observed in human peritoneal metastases, which makes it a suitable platform for future (intervention) studies. A paper on this model is published in the scientific journal ‘Laboratory Investigation’ and can be accessed here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32504005/
