(The Company of Biologists) A new study published in Disease Models and Mechanisms describes the development of drug resistance in mice with lung cancer.

The lung tumors in mice result from changes similar to those seen in human patients. Also like humans, these tumors initially respond to drug treatment but eventually become resistant to therapy.

Studying lung cancer cells in this model should provide insight into the mechanisms that make lung cancer cells resistant to current treatment methods and uncover new therapeutic targets.
