| Research Abstract |
The Ewing’s sarcoma mouse models enabled us to analyze tumorigenic processes from the initial step to the highly malignant stage, and has selected important genetic pathway in the processes. Our platform combined with tests using human cell lines will allow us to explore and evaluate novel target therapies
