Anatomical feature of knee joint in Aachen minipig as a novel miniature pig line for experimental research in orthopaedics

Publication date: Available online 5 August 2019Source: Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer AnzeigerAuthor(s): Gundula Schulze-Tanzil, Sandeep Silawal, Mariann HoyerAbstractBackgroundThe pig is a commonly used large animal model, since pigs share anatomical and physiological similarities with humans. In contrast to other experimental pig lines the Aachen minipig, as a robust novel minipig does not require housing with any barrier. To estimate transferability of results to human conditions, pig lines...

Outcome Measures of Facial Nerve Regeneration: A Review of Murine Model Systems

Publication date: Available online 5 August 2019Source: Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer AnzeigerAuthor(s): Miranda A. Chacon, Scott R. Echternacht, Jonathan I. LeckenbyAbstractAnimal models of nerve function have been subject to extensive study in order to understand and investigate methods which may improve axon regeneration and promote functional outcomes following nerve injury and repair. As the facial nerve is a cranial nerve, there is mounting evidence that cranial nerve regeneration differs...
