About "Alexa" Project (Phase II)
In this phase, we will get the word out to collect more surgical and legacy gift (research autopsy) NF1-associated juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma tumor samples for use in making more cell cultures, cell lines and patient-derived xenografts (avatar mice), akin to http://focusonrhabdo.org/bio-specimen-donation/#.VPOEXPnFTo . Existing and new cell cultures and patient-derived mouse xenografts will be genetically validated. With these resources in hand, we will embark on a collaborative project akin to the International DIPG Preclinical Consortium, http://pptiohsu.blogspot.com/2011/12/open-science-forum-dipg-preclinical.html whereby the most promising agent or combination of drugs will be reported as we did for DIPG, http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/v21/n6/full/nm.3855.html. After the Summer Students accomplish Phase #1 , the project swings into full gear! For more updates on our research, go to our blog http://www.cc-tdi.org/#!research/cfvg.
