The diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases have long been a daunting challenge due to their complex and often undefined nature. However, with recent advancements in technology, specifically in the realm of genomics, whole genome sequencing (WGS) has emerged as a powerful tool that has revolutionized the diagnosis and management of rare diseases. This groundbreaking technique offers hope to...
What is a rare disease?
A rare disease, also known as an orphan disease, is a medical condition that affects a small number of people. In most countries, a disease is considered rare when it affects fewer than 1 in 2,000 individuals. However, this definition may vary from country to country.
Rare diseases can be genetic, meaning they are caused by an alteration or mutation in a person's...
In the field of scientific research, understanding and studying emotion-related behaviors in animals plays a crucial role in advancing the knowledge of the human brain and mental health. Animal models can help researchers better comprehend animal behaviors, and rodent models in particular have become important objects for understanding the mechanisms of emotional behaviors and exploring new...
What is cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. It is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which encodes a protein that regulates chloride ions transport across cell membranes. These mutations cause the CFTR protein to be either absent or not function...
Laboratory Fish as An Indispensable Tool in Biomedical Research
Fish, especially zebrafish, have become the fastest growing segment of research populations. They have become indispensable tools in biomedical research. Laboratory fishes used in biomedical research include zebrafish, medaka, killifish, swordtail fish, cavefish, Stickleback, goldfish, and Danionella translucida. Among them,...
