Experimental setup for generating mouse Patient-Derived Xenografts (mPDXs). The tumor is minced and transplanted either orthotopically or subcutaneously, embedded in matrigel. When the tumor reaches ~1 cm in diameter, it is excised and propagated into more mice (F2, F3) to obtain cohorts of Avatars where different therapies can be tested.
