Drug Discovery
Model systems are central to the discovery and development of new and better treatments for human disease. This collection, first launched in 2015 with a special issue titled From Bench to Patient: Model Systems in Drug Discovery, guest edited by Matthew Breyer and Thomas Look, highlights the contribution of model systems to drug discovery and optimisation across multiple disease areas. It features Reviews and Research articles on the use of model systems to test or develop new therapies.
