Animal modeling

Animal modeling refers to the use of animals in scientific research to better understand human diseases, test new treatments, and study biological processes. Scientists create models by inducing health conditions in animals that mimic human diseases, enabling them to observe the development and progression of those diseases. This approach helps researchers evaluate the effectiveness and safety of new drugs before they reach clinical trials with humans. While animal modeling has provided valuable insights, it also raises ethical considerations, prompting ongoing discussions about the welfare of the animals involved in research.
