Animal models in endometriosis research.
Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease, defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, causing pelvic pain and subfertility in approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Current therapies lead to pain relief, however, do not address the causes and entail severe side effects. Still little is known about the pathogenic processes leading to the development and mai...
متن کاملNonhuman primate models for translational research in endometriosis.
Endometriosis, defined as the ectopic presence of endometrial-like cells, is associated with infertility and pelvic pain in women. Whereas pathogenesis and spontaneous evolution of endometriosis are still poorly understood, recurrences after surgical therapy or after medical treatment are common. Spontaneous endometriosis occurs only in women and in nonhuman primates (NHPs). Inbred rhesus monke...
متن کاملAnimal models play a vital role in translational aging research
A nimal models provide a vital link for the translational progression of biomedical research from the bench to the clinic. However, animal models are not surrogates for human beings, but they rather simulate focused aspects of a disease or age-related condition. Therefore, any animal model must have defined boundaries to enable the integration of valid preclinical data for use in planning a cli...

متن کاملCurrent Animal Models of Alzheimer’s Disease: Challenges in Translational Research
In their article, Franco and CedazoMinguez open the debate on why it is difficult to translate successful preclinical research in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mouse models into clinical practice (1). Here, we discuss some aspects that should be taken into account regarding the main discrepancies that exist between the current animal models and the disease in humans. The translation of findings from...
