Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Animal models are invaluable in studying human diseases. Current basic biomedical research, drug discovery, and medical device development rely on animal models. Animal models are necessary to complement to in vitro investigations in our understanding of human diseases.
In this Special Issue of Biomolecules, we welcome the submission of original research papers using animal models. The topics can be as broad as possible, from an understanding of disease pathogenesis to drug discovery and medical device development. Submission of articles on the need to involve veterinary pathologist specialists in research using animal models is also encouraged. We also welcome articles on developing alternatives to animal research. Submission of review articles is also welcome.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to introduce the value of animal models and to emphasize the need of specialized pathology expertise when evaluating animal models.
