For example, mice that partially mimic human disease are referred to as humanized mice. The first humanized mouse was created in the 1980s to study human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Currently, there ...

Organ-on-a-chip systems offer a more accurate, ethical, and scalable alternative to animal testing in drug discovery and ...

Many people, including researchers, recognize that animal models of human disease don't work as well as their colleagues and others claim that they do. I recently learned of an outstanding book by ...

Organoids, miniaturized, stem cell-derived versions of human organs, are revolutionizing biomedical research by offering human-specific models for disease study and drug testing. While they have ...

The lack of animal models that mimic human disease impedes the study of many pathologies that still lack treatment beyond symptom relief. This is what has happened so far with PURA syndrome, a rare ...

Animal models play a starring role in medical discoveries because they help scientists understand how living ... providing insights that could revolutionize treatments for human heart disease.

Working at the interface of developmental biology, physiology, health and disease, our researchers utilize diverse disease models to understand the biology of human diseases that can impact all stages ...

In pandemic's shadow, risk of animal to human disease spread still high History shouldn't be allowed to repeat itself, according to researchers who spent four years studying human and animal ...

Animal models are often flawed and offer incomplete representations of human disease. Yet we have long relied on their data to establish the risk/benefit for experimental drugs.
