What are the goals of the Cancer Biology course?
To have an understanding of in vitro assays, discover and test new therapies, find better ways to detect cancers, assess fresh approaches to cancer prevention, and determine risk factors for developing cancer.
What are the two main types of research approaches mentioned in the text?
In vitro research (using cell lines as models) and in vivo research (using animals as models).
Why do researchers use animals in cancer research?
To discover and test new therapies, find better ways to detect cancers, assess cancer prevention approaches, and determine risk factors and drug resistance in individuals.
What are the most commonly used animals in cancer research?
Mice and rats.
Can you name some mouse strains commonly used in cancer research?
C57BL6, BALB, CBA, and DBA are some commonly used mouse strains.
