Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the critical role of animal models in understanding and advancing research on gastrointestinal diseases. Gastrointestinal disorders encompass a wide array of conditions that affect the digestive system, from inflammatory bowel diseases to colorectal cancer. Animal models play a pivotal role in unraveling disease mechanisms, testing therapeutic interventions, and offering insights into human gastrointestinal health. This Special Issue explores the diverse animal models employed, their contributions to understanding disease pathology, and the translation of findings to applications. It covers the latest research methodologies, emerging trends, and the significance of animal models in advancing treatments and diagnostics for gastrointestinal disorders.
