Transgenic and gene-targeted mice as models for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Fig. 1—

Abstract excerpt

Animal models play an important role in the understanding of the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The applicability of findings to human COPD depends upon several factors, including the disease model, and similarities in mouse structure and function between species. There are many examples in the literature of transgenic mice that have contributed to the understanding of COPD. Several...
