Experimental models

Experimental models are carefully designed systems or setups used in research to study biological processes, diseases, or treatments. They often involve animals, cell cultures, or computer simulations that mimic human conditions, allowing scientists to observe effects and test interventions safely before applying them to humans. These models help researchers understand how things work, identify potential therapies, and predict outcomes, reducing risks. They are essential tools that provide controlled environments, enabling insights that would be difficult, unethical, or impractical to obtain directly from humans at early research stages.
