متن کاملEngineering large animal models of human disease
The recent development of gene editing tools and methodology for use in livestock enables the production of new animal disease models. These tools facilitate site-specific mutation of the genome, allowing animals carrying known human disease mutations to be produced. In this review, we describe the various gene editing tools and how they can be used for a range of large animal models of disease...

متن کاملAnimal models for intestinal tissue engineering.
Although total parenteral nutrition prevents patients with short bowel syndrome from dying of starvation, having short bowel remains a severely debilitating condition. The best current treatment for inadequate absorptive surface area is through intestinal transplantation. However, this therapy is associated with significant morbidity and patients suffer from consequences of long-term immunosupp...
متن کاملAnimal Models Of Liver Cirrhosis And Fibrosis
Animal modeling is a crucial necessity in clinical studies of liver diseases. Authenticity of the data which are produced using this tool under different conditions and accuracy of the analyses and assessments which would be based on such data sets is completely dependent on the adoption of a standardized methodology for analyzes and assessment of these data sets. Cirrhosis and Fibrosis are amo...
