Over the past decades, scientists have used #animalmodel to study @muscleregeneration, which is regulated by #stemcell s. These animal models have been very helpful in understanding the mechanisms of muscle #regeneration, but they don't always accurately reflect the same range of diseases that humans experience. Therefore, researchers have suggested creating reliable in vitro models using human muscle cells.
Interdisciplinarity in research and what can go wrong:
Diving back into animal model lit, and this paper on the advent of knockout mice and how molecular biologists and animal behavior specialists worked together (or not) is excellent:

Quick #introduction,
Iām a French #Anesthesiologist and #intensivist working in cardiac surgery in Paris. Passionate with #ECMO and #machineperfusion and their crosstalk with other organs and systems. Learned #animalmodel in Brisbane with Pr John Fraser and #clinicalresearch with Pr Alain Combes.
#PhD is tomorrow so wish me luck!
How do we #scientists and #academics buit #models that provide useful information? And how do we make sure that we're not holding on to models that are no longer useful? I'm picking up some work in #AnimalModel building and evaluation that I'd published some years back, closely related to #PhilosopyOfScience and diving back into what's new in the field. Time to stretch the brain again!

The humble pig has substantial and growing potential as an accurate, core #AnimalModel for humans, according to a Review in @ScienceTM that discusses the current status and future applications of pigs in translational biomedical research. fcld.ly/efdwm63
