Establishing appropriate animal models of disease is of vital importance in basic medical research – for which, rats and mice have become the animals of choice. However, rats are significantly superior to mice in many research areas, which strongly benefit from the larger size, superior cognition, and more human-like physiology, morphology, and genetics of rats.
In this exclusive white paper, we review the research applications of rat models in Alzheimer's disease, oncology, and more.
