Polymyxin deacylase
Polymyxin deacylase (Polymyxin acylase) is an N-myristoyl lyase. Polymyxin deacylase can deacylate polymyxin antibiotics and long-chain fatty acyl groups of proteins and peptides. Polymyxin deacylase exhibits antitumor activity against oral epithelial cancer cells. Polymyxin deacylase can be used in research on oral epithelial cancer and other cancers.

Subcutaneous Cell-Line-Derived Xenograft
Subcutaneous cell-line-derived xenograft (CDX) models are established by implanting cultured human cancer cell lines into immunodeficient mice, where the injected cells form localized tumors that can be monitored in vivo as a measure of tumorigenic potential, growth kinetics, and treatment response. These models are widely used in oncology research because they allow reproducible tumor formation and enable comparative assessment of tumor growth between different cell lines or genetic manipulations in a controlled in vivo microenvironment. Subcutaneous implantation of cancer cells in immunodeficient mice is a standard approach for evaluating tumor growth behavior and therapeutic response across multiple cancer types, including prostate, esophageal, pancreatic, and colon cancer models.
