## Abstract

Rodent Histopathology Shared Resource
Project Summary / Abstract
The Rodent Histopathology Core provides high priority, quality access to services for Cancer Center members.
While many commercial and academic histology services are available, no other facility is available that offers
comparable quality with rapid turnaround and highly experienced professional supervision and investigator
education. The Core provides the initial interpretation and understanding of an animal model and interprets this
phenotype in the context of the genetic manipulation. Murine models of cancer have provided investigators
with a unique opportunity to understand tumor cell biology in the setting of intricate and dynamic physiological
systems. This includes the ability to not only investigate the role of specific oncogenes, tumor suppressor
genes, and signaling pathways in tumorigenesis, but, in contrast to in vitro systems, the interactions between
the tumor and its environment can be studied as well.
