Animal disease models are non-human animals used to research strategies to detect, prevent, or treat human disease. A variety of animals, including mice, rats, rabbits, and non-human primates are used for animal disease modeling. New animal disease models are developed regularly as knowledge of disease expand and technological improvements enhance current models.

Highly efficacious vaccines against COVD-19 have been generated in a record time, and allowed a great impact in preventing severe disease due to SARS-CoV-2 infection in vaccinated individual...
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased awareness about sex-specific differences in immunity and outcomes following respiratory virus infections. Strong evidence of a male bias in COVID-...
Emerging data from several expansive clinical trials indicates that common chronic vascular risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and age increase the risk of stroke and deme...
Targeted stimulation of the brain has the potential to treat mental illnesses but designing an appropriate protocol requires a multitude of choices. I will describe an approach to help desig...
Learning Objectives: 1. Delineate the goals of studies of brain, computation and behavior and how they can be integrated. 2. Describe how neuromodulators such as oxytocin transform circuits...
Ataxia Telangiectasia, also known as A-T, is a devastating neuropediatric and genetic disorder for which there is no cure. Patients suffer from immune deficiency, cancer predisposition, and...
Several age-related neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the deposition of aberrantly folded proteins. The histopathological hallmark of synucleinopathies is the deposition of É‘-...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder with multiple motor and non-motor symptoms. PD is characterized by the presence on proteinaceous neuronal...
Though AsCas12a fills a crucial gap in the current genome editing toolbox, it exhibits relatively poor editing efficiency, restricting its overall utility. In collaboration with Integrated D...
Progress developing immune-based treatments to treat the highly lethal pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has lagged behind other cancer types. This may be due, in part, to a fibroinflam...
Immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) is a front-line treatment for lung cancer; however, low mutational burden and ‘non-T cell inflamed’ signatures predict poor responses to ICT in ~5...
Biological systems are comprised of numerous cell types, intricately organized to form functional tissues and organs. Cell atlas initiatives with single-cell RNA sequencing have begun to cha...
In mammals, DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that regulates gene expression by serving as a maintainable mark whose absence marks promoters and enhancers. Recent epidemiological studies...
Many diseases show sex differences in incidence or progression, suggesting that one sex has inherent biological factors that protect from or exacerbate disease. Historically the root causes...
Cell encapsulation within semi-permeable devices represents a local immunoisolation strategy for cell-based therapies without the need for systemic immunosuppression. The encapsulation syste...
The concept of the 3Rs remains more prevalent than ever in global discussions related to humane animal use in aspects of research, teaching and testing. The 3Rs serve as a touchstone, in ter...
Primates have been essential in unlocking novel immune mechanisms that have driven development of groundbreaking new drugs in infectious disease and transplantation, amongst others related t...
Key to the development of the HUB Organoid Technology was the discovery of LGR5+ intestinal adult stem cells by the Clevers’ lab. With the identification of these stem cells, we were a...
Remarkable progress in life science and technology in the past century has advanced our fundamental understanding of the human body beyond our imagination. The ever-increasing knowledge of h...
Traditional drug discovery often begins with simple biochemical and transformed cellular models, advances to more complex animal models in late discovery phases, and often does not ‘se...
This drug development program is designed to create a family of broad-spectrum, pan-coronaviral drugs that respectively inhibit multiple key enzymes required for viral replication. By target...
