Selecting the right animal model for disease research involves biological and economic factors. Careful consideration of these elements, including costs across institutions and funding sources, ensures appropriate model selection.

Area of Science:

  • Comparative Medicine
  • Animal Models for Disease Research

Background:

  • Numerous factors influence the selection of animal models for studying human diseases.
  • These factors encompass biological (anatomic, neurologic, physiologic, pathologic) and practical considerations (knowledge availability, cost).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the multifaceted criteria for selecting appropriate animal models in biomedical research.
  • To specifically analyze the economic aspects of animal model selection across various research institutions.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of factors influencing animal model selection was conducted.
  • Cost data was collected from twelve medical research institutions for eight selected animal species.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Animal model selection is influenced by biological parameters, available knowledge, and cost.
  • Significant variations in animal model costs were observed, dependent on the institution and funding source.

Conclusions:

  • Biological and economic factors are critical for selecting suitable animal models.
  • Investigator expertise and experimental design, alongside cost-effectiveness, guide optimal animal model choice.
