pigAnimal models of human diseases play a critical role in medical research.Pigs are anatomically and physiologically more like humans than are small rodents such as mice,making pigs an attractive option for modeling human diseases.Advances in recent years in genetic engineering have facilitated the ...
Miniature swine whose genomes contain sequences characteristic of pig endogenous retrovirus genes but which are non-infectious to humans are disclosed as sources of organs, tissues and cells for introduction into human recipients afflicted with diseases, or at risk of diseases, whose etiology involves ...

KUNMING, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- Scientists have cloned genetically modified piglets that may prove a safe source of organs for transplants into humans. The 15 black-headed piglets, born in a lab in southwest China's Yunnan Province, do not carry the active infectious viral gene which has impe...
The relationship between main raising models and diseases control for pig was analyzed in the article,and it indicated that village free range pigs and small-scale raising models were the important factors on epidemic diseases. The proposal was put forward that it should perform the accessing system...
15,121-123 Di Nicuolo et at124 could not identify PERV infection in long-term immunosuppressed patients after 8.7 years of exposure to pig hepatocytes following BALS treatment. Another concern with the use of porcine cells is the immunological response that humans developed against pig tissues. We...
Although guinea pigs are susceptible to a wide range of diseases, current breeding and housing conditions have reduced the occurrence of many spontaneous infectious diseases in these animals. Diseases of concern that do occur in research colonies include respiratory diseases (especially those caused by ...
Because no adequate, controlled clinical trials of antibiotic regimens for the prevention of bacteria endocarditis in humans have been done, recommendations are based on vitro studies, clinical experience, data from experimental animal models,... Child,S John - 《Cardiology Clinics》 被引量: 115发表...
2. Respiratory Diseases Young pigs that have just been weaned are the most likely to develop respiratory diseases. Pigs of all ages can develop respiratory diseases, but piglets that have just been weaned are the most likely to show problems. As with humans, the most common signs of respirator...
