Deskripsi

The advancement of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) research is hampered by the lack of disease-specific models. Here, the authors report patient derived xenograft and cell line models of UTUC, and show that these models retain the genomic and biological heterogeneity of human disease.
