Transgenic Mice Models

Transgenic mice models are laboratory mice that have been genetically modified by adding or altering specific genes. Scientists do this to study how genes function and to model human diseases, such as cancer or Alzheimer's. These mice help researchers understand disease mechanisms, test new treatments, and develop better therapies. By observing how the introduced genes affect the mice, scientists gain insights into similar processes in humans, making transgenic mice valuable tools in biomedical research.
