Disease Models and Imaging Techniques Used in Pre-Clinical Studies - Endocrine Models
Journal Title: Nükleer Tıp Seminerleri - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Disease models are often used to obtain new information on the etiology and biology of human diseases and/or neoplasms and to develop new treatments. Although technological advances in clinical diagnosis and genetic analysis have further increased our understanding of the biology of diseases in recent years, models created with the contribution of genetic and tissue engineering to provide new biological perspectives to cellular and molecular etiology can provide a new platform. With the development of disease models that accurately reflect the mechanisms and results of tissue biology, data on the clinical features and genetic background of diseases are increasing day by day. Models that simply re-summarize diseases are indispensable to translate animal model-based research into a clinic and to contribute to the treatment strategies of these diseases. In this review, we present the models of common endocrine diseases and we emphasize the extent to which these models outline human biology and the main ideas collected from recent studies. We also presented the imaging modalities used in the diagnosis of these diseases in the light of recent studies.
