Rodent models are commonly used in biological and medical research to study various diseases and conditions, as well as to test potential treatments and interventions. Rodents, primarily mice and rats, are often chosen for these studies due to their genetic similarity to humans, rapid reproduction rates, and cost-effectiveness. Researchers can manipulate the genes of rodents to mimic human diseases, study the effects of specific interventions, and observe physiological and behavioral changes. Rodent models have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of a wide range of diseases, including cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and cardiovascular disease.
