    Yeah but it's generally a good metric for how it will work in humans and leukemia is really tough to treat. Seems promising.

    Lol. Bad day in the onco lab? I'm confused because most markers, immune responses and other induced responses present the exact fucking same in mice and humans. When these treatments work in humans it's almost always identical to the way it worked in the oncology mice. Hence why we use them.

    And because they always have cancer. But that's fucked up ethics stuff.

    What's your experience?
