QUESTION:
Where do they find all these mice that have cancer??
Give them Pall Malls and light em up?
Pro-create a strain of mice genitally deposed to cancer?
Raise them downwind to Three Mile Island?
The reason I ask is not all cancers are “created equally” Hence why do scientists believe the cancer induced lab mice the medicine they successfully treated will be effective with”wild”(not lab controlled)cancer that actually are the result of real conditions people are afflicted with.
Smart question or really, really dumb?

They don’t. That is why these human trials are needed.
This news is good news -— if you are a mouse. That’s all.
A silly question! You just stick them in the microwave for a few seconds and....
I used to work for a company that provided specialty lab mice. A lab mouse can cost upwards of $100,000.
Before gene editing they used to actually expose the mice to certain things, or train them for things. Now with DNA mapping complete and gene editing for animals common place, the cures are coming fast and furious. For $50 you can get a mouse that used to cost $25,000.
Got it.
