Research model
Research models are used in medical research to mimic aspects of a disease or illness that occurs in humans. Research models can include animals (in vivo models), cell lines (in vitro models), or computer-driven demonstrations (in silico models). Research models allow doctors and scientists to uncover important information that can be applied to clinical practice.
