This book is a methodological source on mice models of vascular
diseases. Covering various areas, each chapter is written by a
pioneering researcher who has developed an original vascular
disease model. Notoriously difficult to reproduce, each model is
described in detail and numerous photographs are provided with
links to videos. Genetically modified mice are a very
powerful tool for studying the pathogenesis of various diseases,
including immunological and oncological disorders, but they had
always been thought to be too small to be used in the field of
cardiovascular disease. Recently, however, various mice models of
vascular diseases have been reported, and these will make a
substantial contribution to basic research on cardiovascular and
metabolic disorders.
