(Medical Xpress)—Researchers from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center recently discovered that the most frequently used cancer cell lines in ovarian cancer research are not suitable models of ovarian cancer. Their findings are the result of a detailed review of genomic data that recently became publicly available. Their methods, published in this week's Nature Communications, could provide a usable framework for other researchers to better assess cell lines' validity for future use in this and in other types of cancer research.
