Rodent Models
Rodents are small mammals that are commonly used in medical and scientific research to better understand how the human body works. They are advantageous models because they are easy to maintain, have short life cycles, and have similar anatomy and physiology to humans. They are also easy to genetically modify, allowing scientists to create models of various diseases or to study the effects of treatments. Rodent models are used to understand complex diseases and discover new therapies, helping to improve the health of humans and animals alike.
