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.

Osteoporosis

osteoporosis gene osteoporosis diseases Tnfrsf11b

Tnfrsf11b (Opg) knockout mice were generated through homologous recombination and supplied by Shanghai Research Center for Model Organisms. This mouse model, which is referred to as the "osteoporotic mouse", shows a typical phenotype of osteoporosis and arterial calcification, and Therefore, this animal model is ideal for drug screening and evaluation for the treatment of "human osteoporosis", in gene therapy of osteoporosis, as well as in the research on the mechanisms of interaction between osteoclasts and osteoblasts.

About Us
