Translational Rodent Models for Research on Parasitic Protozoa—A Review of Confounders and Possibilities
Rodents, in particular Mus musculus, have a long and invaluable history as models for human diseases in biomedical research, although their translational value has been challenged in a number of cases. We provide some examples in which rodents have been suboptimal as models for human biology and discuss confounders which influence experiments and may explain some of the misleading results. Infe...
متن کاملa study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns
attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...
Minipig Translational Research Models
Miniature swine have been utilized as translational research models with outcomes in high concordance with humans in a variety of systems. Much of the data justifying the minipig models has been published in books and review manuscripts.1-16 Summary publications of some of the major models have also been published online (http://www.sinclairresearch.com/Literature/Literature. aspx). Major syste...
متن کاملNovel Rodent Models for Macular Research
BACKGROUND Many disabling human retinal disorders involve the central retina, particularly the macula. However, the commonly used rodent models in research, mouse and rat, do not possess a macula. The purpose of this study was to identify small laboratory rodents with a significant central region as potential new models for macular research. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Gerbillus perpallidu...
متن کاملRodent Models for Metabolic Syndrome Research
Rodents are widely used to mimic human diseases to improve understanding of the causes and progression of disease symptoms and to test potential therapeutic interventions. Chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension, together known as the metabolic syndrome, are causing increasing morbidity and mortality. To control these diseases, research in rodent models that closely mimic th...
