Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The use of animal models of human disease is critical for furthering our understanding of fundamental disease mechanisms, for the discovery of novel treatment targets, and for effective translational research. This Topic aims to collect state-of-the-art primary research studies, Communications and Review articles from international experts and leading groups using animal models to study human diseases. Submissions are welcome on a wide range of animal models and pathologies, including infectious disease, acute injury, regeneration, cancer, autoimmunity, and degenerative and chronic disease. We are interested in studies on traditional laboratory animal models, as well as on other comparative small or large animal models, including wild animal models, or animals which show unusual regenerative, metabolic, immune, or age-related properties, or adaptions to survival in extreme environments.

Preprints.org is a multidiscipline platform providing preprint service that is dedicated to sharing your research from the start and empowering your research journey.

MDPI Topics is cooperating with Preprints.org and has built a direct connection between MDPI journals and Preprints.org. Authors are encouraged to enjoy the benefits by posting a preprint at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Immediately share your ideas ahead of publication and establish your research priority;
  2. Protect your idea from being stolen with this time-stamped preprint article;
  3. Enhance the exposure and impact of your research;
  4. Receive feedback from your peers in advance;
  5. Have it indexed in Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
