Description
Among animals used in research, teaching and testing, mice are now widely recognized as the most important model for human diseases and
disorders. They comprise the majority of all experimental mammals and tend to be the model of choice used for research into many diseases/disorders
including cancer, heart disease, asthma, Alzheimer’s, Down syndrome, deafness, osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes and even mental health
research. Additionally the laboratory mouse continues to play a widely publicized vital role in the human genome project.
One of the
most time-consuming activities in research laboratories is looking up information specific to the species or strain of animal being used.
This book, part of the highly successful
Handbook of Experimental Animals series, allows the user quick access to any
point of interest on the mouse as an experimental model.
