An international group of researchers, led by Dr. José Ángel Martínez-Climent at the Cima University of Navarra (Spain), has created mouse avatars of patients with multiple myeloma to study and develop personalized treatments against this blood cancer, the second most frequent hematological cancer and incurable in most cases. These artificial mice can mimic the genetic and immunological diversity of the origin and evolution of this disease in patients. This advance will allow researchers to design more effective and personalized therapies for multiple myeloma. Nature Medicine publishes this study that opens a pathway for research into other non-curable hematological and solid tumors.
