Applications of Rat Models in Alzheimer's Disease Discovery Research
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) maintains the highest prevalence and morbidity among neurodegenerative diseases. As the FDA approved the first-of-its-kind treatment for Alzheimer’s disease in June 2021, Alzheimer’s drug development has come into the spotlight.
Establishing appropriate animal models of Alzheimer’s disease is of vital importance in Alzheimer’s drug development – for which, rats have become the animals of choice. Compared to mice, rats are more capable of learning tasks and show more stable performance in longer cognitive tests, leading to the rat model providing more value in treating Alzheimer’s disease. Given that humans share 99% of genes with rats (compared to 97.5% with mice), the rapid advancement of gene-editing in rats has provided reduced timelines and higher fidelity of results – especially for researching the effectiveness and safety of drugs tested with rat models.
