Baboon Playground
These baboons are needed as a model for a variety of studies, including research focused on understanding the genetics of complex diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders. These two baboons are males socially housed in a baboon corral with other male baboons. They are seated on…
Baboon
Baboons, closely resembling humans in physiology, serve as vital models in various research areas such as neonatal lung disease, atherosclerosis, pregnancy, nutrition, liver disease, brain imaging, epilepsy, and xenotransplantation.
Hamster
Hamsters play a crucial role in various research areas like cancer, reproduction, virology, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases due to their physiological similarities to humans, particularly in lipid metabolism and atherogenesis.
Fruit Fly
Fruit flies have helped to develop drugs designed to treat a range of diseases from skin infections and genetic disorders to pneumonia, and meningitis. Some of the recent research with fruit flies has focused on understanding Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, spastic paraplegia, cancer, obesity and insomnia.
Marmoset
The common marmoset, due to its size and similarities with humans, is crucial in safety, reproductive biology, neuroscience, and drug development studies. In multiple sclerosis research, its immunological likeness aids therapy development.
