    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Physiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • The spleen plays a crucial role in cardiovascular homeostasis and immune function.
    • Understanding splenic disorders requires robust and relevant animal models.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe established animal simulation models for various splenic disorders.
    • To provide a foundation for research into spleen pathophysiology and therapeutic interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • Simulations involved alterations in portal and splenic vein blood flow.
    • Models included the induction of splenic sequestration.
    • Specific conditions like hyposplenism and hereditary spherocytosis were modeled in mice.

    Main Results:

    • The described models successfully replicate key features of splenic dysfunction.
    • These simulations allow for the study of hemodynamic changes within the spleen.
    • The models are suitable for investigating genetic and acquired splenic conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Animal simulations are valuable tools for studying splenic disorders.
    • These models facilitate research into spleen physiology and pathology.
    • Further investigation using these models can advance the treatment of splenic diseases.
