Research models are used in medical research to mimic aspects of a disease or illness that occurs in humans. Research models can include animals (in vivo models), cell lines (in vitro models), or computer-driven demonstrations (in silico models). Research models allow doctors and scientists to uncover important information that can be applied to clinical practice.
Biomarkers, with their associated “tsunami” of publications, represent what is arguably one of the largest areas of scientific inquiry in the history of biomedicine. Touted as the...
