German company Artemis Pharmaceuticals has agreed to help Spanish biotechnology company, the Centre for Applied Molecular Research Salamanca (CIBASA), market CIBASA's cancer stem cell based Oncostem technology to pharmaceutical manufacturers developing novel anticancer therapies.

CIBASA has a collection of cancer mouse models that show identical pathology to corresponding human cancers and similar responses to known therapeutic agents. These, said a joint statement, 'can be used to test novel cancer agents and validate their ability to treat cancer by affecting cancer stem cells', helping drug candidate testing, drug repositioning, target discovery and validation, biomarker identification and the generation of new mouse models.
