About this product

Product Information

Among animals used in research, teaching and testing, mice are now widely recognized as the most important model for human diseases and disorders. They comprise the majority of all experimental mammals and tend to be the model of choice used for research into many diseases/disorders including cancer, heart disease, asthma, Alzheimer's, Down syndrome, deafness, osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes and even mental health research. Additionally the laboratory mouse continues to play a widely publicized vital role in the human genome project. One of the most time-consuming activities in research laboratories is looking up information specific to the species or strain of animal being used. This book, part of the highly successful Handbook of Experimental Animals series, allows the user quick access to any point of interest on the mouse as an experimental model. * Edited by Hans Hedrich, Hannover Medical School * Comprehensive reference source written by international experts * Well-illustrated with high quality detailed images * Two-color, user-friendly format combined with color plate sections

...a good reference on a broad range of mouse-related topics. ...the book is recommended for pathologists working in genomics research and for departmental-level libraries.- Dr. C. B. Clifford, Charles River Laboratories for JOURNAL OF VETERINARY PATHOLOGY (2005)...well written and offer interesting background information for anyone in this field...this book would be a useful addition to the bookshelves of those readers of Neuromuscular Disorders who use, or plan to use, mouse models in their research. The book provides an overview of the whole field, that may help in the generation of licensing and grant applications and may, through references, suggest for more specific, detailed information.- Neuromuscular Disorders (2005)...easy to navigate and highly informative without being oppressive. The Laboratory Mouse will be a welcome addition to the student research assistant, as well as the seasoned researcher in the broad, reaching fields of human and veterinary medicine.-Animal Lab News (June 2005)Numerous texts are available covering the laboratory mouse. Do we really need another? After reading this book, the answer is clearly yes. This text brings together information about numerous aspects of working with the laboratory mouse into one complete reference...This book should be on the shelves of geneticists, pathologists, researchers, veterinarians, and students as a valuable reference...The chapters covering mouse anatomy and pathology are an excellent companion to other pathology and anatomy texts...These chapters strengthen this text and make it the one book to reach for first. Especially valuable are the mouse as a model for a particular organ systems...this text is a welcome addition to the bookshelves of all those involved with laboratory mice.
