ResumoThe use of animals in biomedical research has an extensive history which no single chapter could hope to completely cover. This chapter examines both the historical use of animals in research and contemporary uses. The chapter focuses on several fields of animal research to illustrate the progressive nature of research and puts research findings into their perspective by illustrating how multiple disciplines, investigators, and animal models are often necessary to make historic progress. Principles of animal model selection are highlighted as methods to create animal models.
