Mouse as a Model Organism: From Animals to Cells

Mouse as a Model Organism

Mouse as a Model Organism: From Animals to Cells provides an overview of the use of mice as mammalian model organisms in biomedical and biological research. The book explores how mouse models help researchers investigate gene function, development, disease mechanisms, and complex biological processes that cannot be fully reproduced through cell culture alone. It covers high-throughput phenotyping, genetic mutations, mouse phenotypes, and in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro approaches, with particular attention to cancer research and the challenges of translating findings from mouse models to broader biomedical applications.
