Understanding Xenograft Models: An Introduction to Cancer Research
Understanding Xenograft Models: An Introduction to Cancer Research In the realm of cancer research, scientists continually strive to discover novel treatments and therapies to combat this complex and devastating disease. One approach that has revolutionized oncology research is the use of Xenograft models, particularly the Xenograft mouse model. These models have played a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of cancer biology, drug development, and personalized medicine.

Psychosis
"Psychosis is a condition that affects the way your brain processes information. It causes you to lose touch with reality. People might see, hear, or believe things that aren’t real. Psychosis is a symptom, not an illness" (WebMD Editorial Contributors, 2021). Another way of defining it is - "psychosis is a combination of symptoms resulting in an impaired relationship with reality. It can be a symptom of serious mental health disorders. People who are experiencing psychosis may have either hallucinations or delusions" (Carey, 2018).

Skin picking disorder
Skin-picking is something that is not uncommon and from time-to-time people tend to pick their skins. But it seems to become a problem when it is severe and cannot stop from picking their skin, and it becomes a disorder. "Dermatillomania, also known as excoriation disorder (per the DSM-5) or skin-picking disorder, is a psychological condition that manifests as repetitive, compulsive skin picking. It is one of a category of disorders known as body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) that are currently classified in the DSM-5 under Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders" (Psychology Today, 2017).

Dissociative disorders
"Dissociative disorders are mental health conditions that involve feelings of being detached from reality, being outside of your own body or experiencing memory loss (amnesia)" (Cleveland Clinic, 2023). Some dissociative illnesses have a very brief lifespan, maybe as a result of a traumatic life experience, and they go away on their own within a few weeks or months. Others have a significantly longer lifespan.

How Do Researchers Overcome the Challenges of Tumor Engraftment in PDX Mouse Models?
Introduction: Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) mouse models have emerged as a valuable tool in cancer research, offering a more representative and translational platform for studying tumor biology and evaluating potential therapeutic interventions. However, the successful engraftment of patient tumors into mice presents significant challenges that researchers must overcome.
