LOS ANGELES & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel, targeted cancer medicines, presented today findings from its novel human-in-mouse (HIM) tissue transgenic cancer model system, in which AVEO successfully created invasive human tumors that develop over time in mice from primary human breast tissue. This model enables scientists, for the first time, to generate and study in vivo, human tumor initiation, progression and treatment in a preclinical model. This groundbreaking model was presented today in a session entitled “Mouse Models of Cancer 6: Signaling Mechanisms in Initiation, Progression and Therapeutics” at the 100th American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, California.
