Animal models of exfoliation syndrome, now and future.
At present, no animal models fully embody exfoliation syndrome or exfoliation glaucoma. Both genetic and environmental factors appear critical for disease manifestation, and both must be considered when generating animal models. Because mice provide a powerful mammalian platform for modeling complex disease, this paper focuses on mouse models of exfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma.
متن کاملAn update on lupus animal models.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The complexity and heterogeneity of the clinical presentation in systemic lupus of erythematosus (SLE), combined to the inherent limitations of clinical research, have made it difficult to investigate the cause of this disease directly in patients. Various mouse models have been developed to dissect the cellular and genetic mechanisms of SLE, as well as to identify therapeutic...
متن کاملP119: Animal Models of Epilepsy: The Impact of some Chemoconvalsants on Animal Models
We summarize some of the most frequenthly used rodent animal models of temporal lobe epileps and the impact of chemoconvulsants on them. Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common epilepsy in humans in which seizures spread to the neighboring cortiase and hippocampal neuron loss and other neuropathological take place. Temporal lobe epilepsy and the other form of epilepsy cannot acquired in chini...
متن کاملAnimal Models of Schizophrenia: An Update
1 Schizophrenia is one of the most intriguing human diseases because it affects the most complex functions emanating from the brain. Bleuler defined the term in 1911 as a psychotic disorder characterized by four primary symptoms: “abnormal associations, autistic behavior and thinking, abnormal affect, and ambivalence” [1]. Developing an animal model that is expected to mimic deficits in such fu...
متن کاملAnimal models of Williams syndrome.
In recent years, researchers have generated a variety of mouse models in an attempt to dissect the contribution of individual genes to the complex phenotype associated with Williams syndrome (WS). The mouse genome is easily manipulated to produce animals that are copies of humans with genetic conditions, be it with null mutations, hypomorphic mutations, point mutations, or even large deletions ...
