Though the Leprdb/db mouse is a common and well‐studied model of type II diabetes mellitus, there are a few specific guidelines for its husbandry, and wound complications are common. We present a modified husbandry approach for the Leprdb/db mouse that includes increased cage size, decreased housing density, and more frequent cage changes.

Respiratory virus mRNA vaccines: mRNA Design, clinical studies, and future challenges
Abstract Respiratory infectious diseases frequently erupt on a global scale, with RNA viruses, such as SARS‐CoV‐2, RSV, and influenza viruses, posing challenges to vaccine development due to their high mutation rates. Traditional vaccine development cycles are lengthy and struggle to keep pace with rapidly evolving viruses, whereas messenger RNA (mRNA)

Grafts used to construct lung cancer animal models come from various sources, primarily cell lines, patient‐derived tumor tissues, and circulating tumor cells. Based on the sources of grafts and research objectives, lung cancer animal models can be categorized into several types: chemical‐induced models, orthotopic transplantation models, heterotopic ...

Comparison of the pathogenicity of multiple SARS‐CoV‐2 variants in mouse models
We assessed the pathogenicity of various SARS‐CoV‐2 variants using two distinct mouse models. Our findings indicated that earlier variants, including WH‐09, Beta, and Delta, exhibited greater pathogenicity than later variants. Specifically, the Omicron variant demonstrated reduced pathogenicity, characterized by a shorter disease course and diminished ...

Advances in CRISPR‐Cas9 in lineage tracing of model animals
Cell lineage tracing is a key technology for describing the developmental history of individual progenitor cells and assembling them to form a lineage development tree. However, traditional methods have limitations of poor stability and insufficient resolution.
