Applications of Animal Models

cell model animal model organism animal model

The model animal has played an important role in the history of life sciences and medicine, with a wide range of application in biology, medicine, molecular biology, molecular genetics, immunology and other fields.

Popular Model Organisms

genetically modified organisms transgenic organisms genetically modified organisms examples

Model organisms are instrumental to the study of gene functions. Gene editing technology has always played a crucial role in the research on gene functions, diseases and drug discovery, through its application in genetic engineering of model organisms, mimicking of human diseases, as well as observation of physiological or pathological changes. In particular, the CRISPR/Cas9 technology has achieved remarkable breakthroughs in recent years, significantly improving the efficiency of genetic engineering in model organisms, and facilitating more extensive and in-depth applications of animal models in various research fields.

Disease Mouse Models (Non-genetically-engineered)

diseases mice diseases model non genetically modified organisms

Shanghai Model Organisms has established a library of typical mouse models of human diseases through surgery or drug induction, thereby providing useful animal models for the research on pathogenesis of related diseases, functional studies of genes or proteins in diseases, screening of disease drugs and evaluation of therapeutic effects, etc.

The scientific team at Shanghai Model Organisms Center, Inc, comprising of seasoned molecular biologists and technicians, is dedicated to providing highly customizable, genetically engineered models to global researchers.

Liver Cancer PDX Model

PDX PDX models Patient-derived Xenografts

Patient-derived Xenografts (PDX) are advanced preclinical oncology models for drug development. It offers a far better alternative for preclinical drug evaluation as compared to the conventional cell line-derived xenograft model.

Mouse models for cancer research

Tumor bearing Mouse DEN model PDX model CDX model

Shanghai Model Organisms Center provides multiple types of tumor-bearing mouse models for cancer research and drug efficacy testing, including cell line-derived xenograft model (CDX) and patient-derived xenograft model (PDX). While PDX models better reflect the heterogeneity and diversity of human cancers, CDX models allow researchers to advance their pre-clinical drug development in a cost- and time-efficient manner.

Type of genetic engineering

genetic modified organism types of genetic engineering genetic engineering technology

Three types of genetic modification by the gene engineered technology: gene knockout. gene knock-in, gene overexpression.

Lineage tracing

lineage tracing genetic lineage tracing genetic fate mapping

Genetic lineage tracing is a commonly used and the most effective method for studying the origin and fate of specific cell types. The construction of genetically engineered mouse model is the most important step in the lineage tracing technique.
