Creative Animodel, as a leading CRISPR technology company, makes a deep discussion on primate animal gene editing in the latest days. At present, people have not fully understand the operation mechanism of the brain in healthy and morbid conditions, so it is difficult to develop effective drugs for the treatment of brain diseases. These diseases bring about heavy burden to many patients, families and the society. In the past, scientists mainly did experiments in the murine model brain, such as gene expression in specific neurons, neural activity markers and opsin. There are many genetics research tools available to study mouse, including genome editing, regulation of gene expression and gene inactivation technology.
However, there can not be ignored in the study of anatomy, physiology, cognitive science and behavioral differences between mice and humans. That is to say, for many diseases (especially high cognitive function disease), mouse studies is not a good reflection of the human brain mechanism. In recent years, researchers are also trying to establish non-human primates animal model, but the effect is not obvious. The lack of systematic research on genetic tools of the neural circuits in the primate animal has become a major obstacle to understand and treat brain diseases. CRISPR technology pioneer Creative Animodel discusses this problem recently. It introduces the recent advances in technology, discusses the effective way to study primate animal brain with modern genetic tools.
In addition, Creative Animodel also elaborates the ethical issues on the research of transgenic non-human animal. http://www.creative-animodel.com/Non-Human-Primate/NHP-Research-Service.html The development of genetically primate animal model is very necessary, because it can help us better understand the human brain and brain diseases. With the gene editing technology (especially CRISPR) development, it is not difficult to realize this goal. Primate animal model of gene transformation will open up new horizons for brain research, improving understanding of the neuron type, neural circuits, brain function and brain diseases, quickly helping determine the cause of human brain disease. Scientists will make a great progress in the study of primate animal brain with the help of gene editing and stem cell technology. About the author: Creative Animodel is a pioneer in CRISPR, it has been performing non-human primate studies for many years, providing the highest quality of non-human primate bio-research services in the world. It provides SPF non-human primate for the research of biomedical community.
