Structure and strength are perhaps the most relevant properties when assessing functional outcomes in animal models related to musculoskeletal biology and medicine.
Core Facility Tag: Mouse
Preclinical Imaging Facility
Animal models (including transgenic and knock-out mouse models) are routinely used to identify biomarkers of human diseases and to devise novel therapeutic strategies. In vivo, non-invasive imaging of mice and rats is ideally suited to assess the efficacy of such biomarkers, characterize mechanisms of disease progression, and assess response to therapy longitudinally in preclinical rodent […]
Animal Model Research Core
The Animal Model Research Core provides breeding and colony maintenance of rodent models used for nutrition-related research (e.g., animals with lipid abnormalities, atherosclerosis, obesity and diabetes), genotyping, histological analyses, biochemical measurements (plasma lipids, glucose, and hormones) and body composition analyses.
