Oncopig Soft-Tissue Sarcomas Recapitulate Key Transcriptional Features of Human Sarcomas

Abstract Human soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare mesenchymal tumors with a 5-year survival rate of 50%, highlighting the need for further STS research. Research has been hampered by limited human sarcoma cell line availability and the large number of STS subtypes, making development of STS cell li...
