Description

Weisong Zhao and co-authors build a living tumor bank for rare bone and soft tissue cancers in a 2026 study. These cancers, called sarcomas, vary a lot and have seen little gain in outlook for years. The bank grows patient tumors in mice so drugs can be tested on real tumor tissue. Such models have been scarce for sarcoma research until now.

The bank holds grafts from more than a hundred patients across many sarcoma types. Gene work showed that loose DNA rings often drive strong growth gene copies in bone tumors. The grafts kept most traits of the tumors they came from over time. The team also found gene changes that drugs could target in some grafts.
