Helicobacter pylori infection and disease: from humans to animal models.
Informative and tractable animal models that are colonized by well-defined microbial pathogens represent ideal systems for the study of complex human diseases. Helicobacter pylori colonization of the stomach is a strong risk factor for peptic ulceration and distal gastric cancer. However, gastritis has no adverse consequences for most hosts and emerging evidence suggests that H. pylori prevalen...
متن کاملLessons from Animal Models of Arterial Aneurysm.
We review the results from the most common animal models of arterial aneurysm, including recent findings from our novel, laparoscopy-based pig model of abdominal aortic aneurysm, that contribute important insights into early pathogenesis. We emphasize the relevance of these findings for evaluation of treatment protocols and novel device prototypes for mechanism-based prevention of progression a...
متن کاملHenipavirus Infections: Lessons from Animal Models
The Henipavirus genus contains two highly lethal viruses, the Hendra and Nipah viruses and one, recently discovered, apparently nonpathogenic member; Cedar virus. These three, negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses, are hosted by fruit bats and use EphrinB2 receptors for entry into cells. The Hendra and Nipah viruses are zoonotic pathogens that emerged in the middle of 90s and have caused s...
متن کاملObesity and asthma: lessons from animal models.
Epidemiological data indicate that obesity is a risk factor for asthma. These data are supported by observations in several murine models of obesity. Ob/ob, db/db, and Cpe(fat) mice each exhibit innate airway hyperresponsiveness, a characteristic feature of asthma. These mice also respond more vigorously to common asthma triggers, including ozone. Here we discuss the implications of these data ...
متن کاملCryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis--lessons from animal models.
In humans cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis (CGGN) may develop in the course of systemic cryoglobulinemia (CG) and is often associated with hepatitis C virus infection. It is believed that the glomerular injury in CG results from the deposition of immune complexes, but exact sequence of events in this process is unknown. Experimental models of CGGN provide an important tool to study pathogene...
