Schematic of platform based on cellular origin. Dissociated tumor cells were divided into two populations. One half was injected into immunodeficient mice, and the other was cultured in several conditions. When doing drug screening, the candidate that shows great potential in either condition should be validated in a patient-derived xenografting (PDX) model in vivo. After validation in PDX, the remaining candidates should move to clinical trials in glioma patients.
