Description for Mouse as a Model Organism
Hardback. This fascinating book offers an introduction to scientists interested in the use of mice as a model to understand complex biological questions in the post-genomic era. It highlights the possibilities, but also discusses the current problems in this field. Editor(s): Brakebusch, Cord; Pihlajaniemi, Taina. Num Pages: 179 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MBGR; MQW; PSAK; PSVL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 159 x 242 x 13. Weight in Grams: 400.
Cell culture based research is important for our understanding of biological processes at the cellular and molecular level. Using this approach, the previous decades have produced a wealth of mechanistic information in all areas of biomedical research. Such in vitro research, however, lacks the complexity of in vivo investigations, where many different cell types interact with each other in a normal, three-dimensional environment, with normal levels of cytokines and growth factors. Furthermore, complex human diseases, such as cancer, diabetes or chronic inflammation, can only be modeled in vivo. Due to its small size, its short reproduction time, and the possibility ...

Reviews for Mouse as a Model Organism
“The book gives a good introduction to the possible way of exploiting the mouse system to explore the molecular pathways underlying human diseases, especially cancer. The concept of ‘mouse clinics’ and the high throughput phenotyping of mouse mutants … described in the books will be watched with bated breath by all investigators of biomedical research, as these are the signposts ...
