MK1775, a selective Wee1 inhibitor, shows single-agent antitumor activity against sarcoma cells.

abstract：:There is a growing recognition that current preclinical models do not reflect the tumor microenvironment in cellular, biological, and biophysical content and this may have a profound effect on drug efficacy testing, especially in the era of molecular-targeted agents. Here, we describe a method to directly embed low-pa...
