Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue collects original research articles and comprehensive reviews. It focuses on results from laboratory animals but not from animal cells or human patients. Research and reviews with the following topics are welcome:
- Comprehensive reviews focusing on summaries or comparisons of the therapeutic effect of a category of compounds, components, natural products, or herbal extracts on a specific animal model of human disease;
- Original research articles using a novel, modified, or well-established animal model of human disease to screen or test potential drugs, natural products, or herbal extracts, showing the molecule mechanisms of their functions.
