The cumulative impact of chronic inflammation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) predisposes them to the development of IBD-associated colorectal cancer. To support drug discovery research in this area, WuXi AppTec has developed a colitis-associated cancer mouse model to reflect the human colon’s carcinogenesis pattern derived from inflammation. Key features of this model include …Read More >

Selecting preclinical in vivo models that are reflective of clinical outcome is a key challenge in the development of new therapies to treat fibrotic diseases.  To accelerate research focused on pulmonary, renal, and liver fibrosis, WuXi AppTec has established a series of in vivo models supported with anti-fibrotic efficacy data.  Our platform also includes a …Read More >

Salt-inducible kinases (SIKs) have recently emerged as key regulators of oncogenesis, inflammation, and immune responses, making these enzymes an important drug target. The isoform SIK3 is a novel regulator of tumor-intrinsic resistance to cytotoxic T cell attack. To support the discovery of novel SIK3 modulators, WuXi AppTec offers an integrated platform of ready-to-go biophysical assays …Read More >

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common, chronic inflammatory skin disease.  To support drug discovery research in this area, WuXi AppTec offers a broad platform of validated, in vivo AD models.  Our panel includes DNCB, DNFB, and MC903-induced AD models.  Study readouts include histopathology scoring and measurements of serum IgE levels, transepidermal water loss, and …Read More >

Our in vivo alopecia platform is comprised of both non-cicatricial and cicatricial alopecia models, including skin graft-induced alopecia areata (AA) in C3H/HeJ mice, cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia in C57BL/6 mice, and androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in C57BL/6 mice.
