Animal Models of Disease Part D by Galluzzi, Lorenzo; Aranda Vega, Fernando; Bravo-San Pedro, Jose Manuel;

Long description:

Animal Models of Disease, Part D, Volume 197 in the Methods in Cell Biology series presents significant advancements in understanding disease mechanisms through animal models. This volume features chapters on timely topics such as characterizing tumor-infiltrating group 1 innate lymphoid cells in PyMT breast tumors and using zebrafish to unravel the molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease. The book also covers colitis mouse models and appropriate models for studying diabetes pathophysiology, demonstrating its comprehensive approach to current research.

Additional sections cover evaluating polyglutamine protein aggregation in transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans models of Huntington's disease and studying tumor responses to radioimmunotherapy in ovarian cancer models. It also highlights the antimicrobial regime for gut microbiota depletion in mice and the biodistribution of metallic nanoparticles for lymphoma studies. This book is an essential resource for researchers seeking to explore disease mechanisms and therapeutic approaches through animal models.

• Provides the latest information on cancer research
• Offers outstanding and original reviews on a range of cancer research topics
• Serves as an indispensable reference for researchers and students alike
