Chicken
Ovarian cancer, affecting 225,000 women annually, is often diagnosed late, leading to high fatality rates. The chicken, mirroring human ovarian cancer, provides a crucial model for early detection research, potentially saving lives.

How beagles and goldens could help researchers find the next cancer therapy for humans
Radiation oncologist Dr. Michael Kent desperately wants to beat cancer.He’s testing the latest high-tech treatments in clinical trials and using a multimillion-dollar linear accelerator so he can offer the best care to patients — whether they’re beagles, golden retrievers, or the black and white terrier mix named Moo…

ASCO: Cancer-killing poliovirus combination shrinks breast tumors in Duke-led mouse trials
Recent data showed that Merck’s checkpoint inhibitor Keytruda cuts the risk of death significantly in newly diagnosed lung cancer patients and Bristol-Myers Squibb made a case for Opdivo combos.
Primates
Home / Animal Groups / Primates Animal Group: Primates Nonhuman primates have a rich history of contributing to significant medical advances such as the polio vaccine, organ transplantation, blood transfusions, and surgical procedures to treat debilitating neurological symptoms like tremors and stiffness. Nonhuman primates are currently vital to…
Pigeon
Pigeons, once prominent in comparative psychology, now serve in neuroscience research, particularly in memory, navigation, and cancer detection studies, offering potential for more efficient cancer screenings and insights into brain mechanisms.
Zebrafish
Zebrafish, sharing 70% of human genetics and having externally fertilized transparent embryos, serve as invaluable models for studying gene function and genetic diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy, aiding in drug development.
Tiny particles could help fight brain cancer
Nanoparticles carrying two drugs can cross the blood-brain barrier and shrink glioblastoma tumors.
Rodents
Home / Animal Groups / Rodents Animal Group: Rodents Rodents, like mice and rats, are popular models for biomedical research due to their anatomical, physiological and genetic similarities to humans. Some advantages for using rodents include ease of maintenance, their small size, and short life cycles that enable…
