Rat as a Disease Model
The rat is a key model for basic and preclinical studies of physiology, pharmacology, toxicology and neuroscience, underlining its importance in studies of human disease. DMM presents reviews, research, resources, interviews and other articles, including specially commissioned content from our 2016 special issue Spotlight on Rat: Translational Impact, which was guest edited by Tim Aitman and Aron Geurts. This collection highlights that rat research is driven by a forward-looking community dedicated to increasing our understanding of basic biology and human disease.
