Rabbit
Rabbits, instrumental in developing the rabies vaccine, paved the way for pets in households. Their anatomical and physiological resemblance to humans aids research in cancer, glaucoma, infections, diabetes, and emphysema.
Rhesus macaque
Rhesus macaque monkeys, owing to their anatomical and physiological likeness to humans, have been instrumental in developing life-saving vaccines and treatments like those for polio, smallpox, rabies, and HIV/AIDS. They've also contributed to behavioral discoveries, showing promise in neural mechanism studies.

Hibernating ground squirrels provide clues to new stroke treatments
Multi-step screening process leads to molecule that may protect brain cells. In the fight against brain damage caused by stroke, researchers have turned to an unlikely source of inspiration: hibernating ground squirrels. While the animals’ brains experience dramatically reduced blood flow during hibernation, just like human patients after…
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.
