Humanized Mice as a Valuable Pre-Clinical Model for Cancer Immunotherapy Research

Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors opened new horizons in cancer treatment. Clinical trials for novel immunotherapies or unexplored combination regimens either need years of development or are simply impossible to perform like is the case in cancer patients with limited life expectancy. Thus,...
