Animal Models
in biomedical research Animal models in biomedical research involve the use of animals to study and understand human physiology, disease, and treatments. Animal models typically provide a better understanding of the biological pathways and mechanisms underlying human diseases than can be obtained from research with cell cultures or computer simulations. As such, animal models form an invaluable tool for the development of new therapeutics and treatments for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular and neurological disorders. The use of animal models also enables researchers to test the safety and efficacy of new drugs prior to their trials on humans, thus reducing the risk of costly adverse drug reactions.
