Study Notes
Transgenic Animals
- The primary purpose of creating transgenic animals is to study the function of genes and their effects on the organism.
- Transgenic animals are used as models for human diseases to understand the progression and treatment of diseases in a more relevant and accurate way.
Diseases with Transgenic Models
- Cancer
- Neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's and Parkinson's)
- Cardiovascular diseases
- Other diseases
