Animal Models of Human Disease
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of animal models of human disease is critical for furthering our understanding of disease mechanisms, for the discovery of novel targets for treatment, and for translational research.
This Special Issue aims to collect state-of-the-art primary research studies 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.
