Researchers at Lovely Professional University (LPU), in collaboration with the University of Kashmir, have successfully achieved a breakthrough milestone in cancer research by developing an in-vivo colorectal cancer (CRC) rat model. The model provides a robust platform for testing new chemopreventive agents, understanding the molecular basis of CRC, and exploring potential therapeutic interventions.

"The development of this CRC rat model is a pioneering effort that has opened new avenues for cancer research and will allow for in-depth studies on the mechanisms of colorectal cancer development, progression, and metastasis, which were previously not possible within our facilities," the research...
