Researchers have designed new mouse models of human acute myeloid leukemia that accurately predict chemotherapy response in patients. The models precisely recapitulate genetic associations that have been linked to favorable or adverse treatment responses in patients and help identify genes promoting resistance or sensitivity to any cancer drug. The models are also an effective test system for new drugs and treatment strategies for AML.
