Carefully designed animal models, created to replicate the pathological features and cognitive deficits observed in dementia, represent invaluable tools for comprehending disease mechanisms and evaluating potential treatments. This session will highlight recent progress in the development of animal models, with a focus on models that more accurately mimic the human condition. This allows researchers to gain deeper insights into the progression of the disease and the effectiveness of treatments.
Animal models have been instrumental in advancing our knowledge of Alzheimer's disease and supporting the exploration of potential therapies. The forthcoming Alzheimer's 2024 conference will feature a specialized scientific session dedicated to delving into the complexities of animal models and their relevance in translational Alzheimer's research.
