Cell lines developed from these stem cells will be useful as models for accelerating the development of human embryonic stem cells into tissues that can be used to treat patients, he says.
The relative simplicity of the arthropods' body plan, allowing them to move on a variety of surfaces both on land and in water, have made them useful as models for robotics.
Thus cell lines, although useful as models could be improved with additional studies with primary BC.
Therefore, animal models appear more useful as models of specific disease targets and pathways than of the complete human disease.
However, MCMV and RCMV cannot cross the placental barrier and thus are not useful as models of congenital CMV.
However, like other decapods, shrimp have high rates of genomic duplication, complicating genomic analyses and rendering them less useful as models [ 6- 8].
However, because only a small proportion of autism cases result from complete loss of a single gene, knockout animal models may not be as useful as models that carry mutations that impart partial gain or loss of gene function.
Since the oncogenes c- myc and TGFα are frequently overexpressed in human lung bronchiolo-alveolar adenocarcinomas, these mouse lines are useful as models for human lung bronchiolo-alveolar adenocarcinomas.
Traditionally, the immunologic characterization and toxicologic studies of small laboratory animals have provided the basis for development of animal models of food allergy; however, the natural allergic response in large animals, which closely mimic allergic diseases in humans, can also be useful as models for investigations involving food allergy.
There are a couple of reasons why modeling asexual reproduction is useful as null model.
