Mouse Research

Mouse models are foundational in the realm of biomedical research, providing essential insights into human disease mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.

Due to their genetic, biological, and behavior similarities to humans, mice are invaluable for studying a wide range of human disorders, including genetic diseases, cancer, and infectious diseases. Researchers utilize various mouse models to simulate human disease conditions, enabling the exploration of pathogenesis and the testing of novel treatments within a controlled setting.

Advances in genetic engineering techniques, such as CRISPR, have further enhanced the precision and utility of mouse models by allowing the addition, deletion, or alteration of genes.

This has paved the way for the creation of 'humanized' mice that carry human genes, cells, tissues, or organs. Mouse models also play a crucial role in drug development, providing critical data on drug efficacy and safety before clinical trials in humans.

Moreover, specialized imaging techniques like in vivo fluorescence imaging, MRI, and CT scans offer deep insights into disease processes at molecular and cellular levels in real-time, significantly boosting the potential for breakthroughs in understanding and treating human diseases.
