Abstrakt: Animal models for mesothelioma mainly stem from exposure of different species to environmental fibers that are carcinogenic. The majority take months for a mesothelioma to develop in the abdomen or the chest. The models are invaluable, however, for studying molecular pathways. Other models in transgenic animals have used novel promoters or other molecules involved in mesothelioma generation to produce the disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
