Model organism development and evaluation for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease
15 Mar 2021Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a major cause of dementia, disability, and death in the elderly. While current animal models of AD have provided multiple novel insights into AD disease mechanisms, thus far they have not been successfully utilized to predict the effectiveness of therapies that have moved into AD clinical trials. The NIA recently funded the Indiana University/Jackson Laboratory/Sage Bionetworks consortium to become the first MODEL-AD Center.

Animal ModelsThe use of non-human animals in experiments or behavorial observations. The research is conducted inside universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, farms, defence establishments, and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry. It includes pure research such as genetics, developmental biology, behavioral studies, as well as applied research such as pharmaceutical testing in pre-clinical, before human, studies.
