Mouse as a Model Organism: From Animals to Cells

Mouse as a Model Organism: From Animals to Cells

This book explores the use of mice as mammalian model organisms for studying biological processes, gene function, development, and complex diseases. It bridges in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro research, highlighting how mouse models complement cell culture studies and provide insights into conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and chronic inflammation.
