The rat: a model used in biomedical research
Methods Mol Biol.
2010.
Abstract
The rat evokes fear and disgust in a large percentage of people around the world. Yet, other people are fascinated by this amazing creature that is raised as a pet, has an important place in several religions, and is a prominent model for biomedical research. This book focuses on a variety of methodologies that can be used in this remarkable model. This chapter sets the stage by providing a perspective on why the rat remains an important model in biomedical research.
