Description
The conservative nature of animal evolution makes animal models the ideal tool for learning about human biology. The Handbook of Laboratory Animal Science, Second Edition: Animal Models, Volume II addresses the development and application of models in different areas of biomedical research and details the criteria used to choose animal species and strains. This book is not restricted to laboratory animal models for the study of human diseases. Building on the foundation of the best-selling first edition, the second edition includes many new topics such as animal models in skeletal disease, xenotransplantation, and dental disorders.
