Animal Models of Human Disease 3.0
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.
