Animal Models for Studying and Screening Human Diseases

This special issue belongs to the section “Pathology and Molecular Diagnostics“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Animal models have been used in studying and understanding human disease for over a century. Through them, it has been possible to study the evolution of various diseases, develop and evaluate new diagnostic methodologies, and test new therapeutic approaches. Thus, thanks to their use, human life expectancy has been increasing.
In this Special Issue, we will publish reviews and original research that provide new insights into the role of animal models to conduct medical research.

Dr. Paula A. Oliveira
Guest Editor
