Decoding and Targeting Treatment-Resistant Metastatic Neuroblastoma
The childhood cancer neuroblastoma (NB) is a major challenge in pediatric oncology, and children with relapse have a very poor prognosis due to treatment-resistance at metastatic sites. There is an urgent need to better understand NB treatment resistance to inform the design of novel therapeutic strategies. However, current models do not mimic relapsed human NB in its most common metastatic niches in the bone and bone marrow. We recently developed advanced patient-derived and humanized NB in vivo models and 3D tumor organoid models which are excellent tools for preclinical drug testing. Here, we aim to further develop and exploit these models, investigate mechanisms of NB metastatic…
