Mouse Models of Cancer Study

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Behavioral Genetics
Animal Models

Background:

Human studies have identified numerous autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk genes.
Understanding genetic contributions to ASD requires behavioral analysis in model organisms.
Genetic variation impacts social interaction and stereotyped behaviors in ASD.

Purpose of the Study:

To review genetic and non-genetic animal model strategies for studying ASD.
To explore the relationship between genetic variation, disease processes, and ASD behaviors.
To identify essential approaches for unraveling ASD's neurobiological underpinnings.

Main Methods:

Review of genetic and non-genetic animal model strategies.
Analysis of behavioral trait variation in animal models.
Examination of genetic variation's role in pathogenic processes.

Main Results:

Animal studies offer a unique platform for behavioral consequence analysis of genetic variants.
Systematic animal model studies are necessary for therapeutic intervention development.
Both genetic and non-genetic models have distinct propensities for studying behavioral underpinnings.

Conclusions:

An integration of reverse and forward genetic approaches is essential for ASD research.
Understanding neurobiological mechanisms of ASD requires combined genetic strategies.
Animal models are vital for dissecting the genetic basis of ASD-related behaviors.
