Advances in Animal Experimentation and Modeling: Understanding Life Phenomena

Exploration in Laboratory Animal Sciences Understanding Life Phenomena is a comprehensive textbook that covers various topics in laboratory animal sciences, including molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, cell culture, stem cell culture, transgenesis, and their translation to understand systematics and phylogeny of laboratory animals. It also discusses conservation, applications in environment monitoring, production of drugs, and other areas. Comparative research has enabled the use of domestic animal models for human welfare, and molecular geneticists are unraveling the complexities of mammalian genes. Biotechnology is maturing, and research in immunology and animal behavior offers new insights into enhancing animal welfare. The rise in animal protein consumption and the challenges of sustaining natural resources have led to integrative systems-based research for meeting the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. The textbook also discusses the manipulation of animals as factories for the production of safe foods, drugs, and sensors.
