シンポジウムタイトル
Using non-mammalian model organisms for human disease study and drug screening
シンポジウム要旨
Mammals such as rodents are most commonly and widely used model organisms to study human diseases and to identify potential therapeutics. However, several experimental approaches using non-mammalian models are also advantageous compensating for the mammalian systems. For some kinds of diseases, non-mammalian organisms can be more suitable models than mammals for the understanding of disease onset at the cellular-level or for a large-scale drug screening. In this symposium, we will focus on recent approaches using non-mammalian organisms including yeast, C. elegans, Drosophila and small fishes that shed light on cellular and/or developmental pathogenesis of various diseases. We would like to discuss their features and advantages in comparison to the mammalian systems in this symposium.
