Rodent research is a field of study that focuses on using rodents, such as mice and rats, as model organisms to investigate various biological and disease-related processes. This research is important in understanding the genetic, physiological, and behavioral mechanisms underlying human health and disease. Rodents are commonly used in research due to their genetic similarity to humans, ease of breeding, and short reproductive cycles, which allows for efficient and cost-effective studies. Rodent research can encompass a wide range of topics, such as neuroscience, cancer biology, immunology, and pharmacology. This research is used to develop new treatments, therapies, and preventive measures for various human diseases.
