About this Research Topic
The field of transplant immunology has been significantly advanced through the use of small animal models, due to their ability to facilitate a variety of strain combinations and achieve high throughput in a relatively short time. However, despite these advancements, there are still ongoing debates and gaps in knowledge that need to be addressed. The current state of research is marked by a pressing need for updated, more detailed, and focused research models. Significant studies have been conducted using these models, but the question remains: what is the "latest and greatest" research model that can further advance our understanding of transplant immunology?
The primary aim of this research topic is to consolidate the current, novel models being used in the field of transplant immunology. The objective is to provide a comprehensive overview of these models, highlighting their unique features and the specific research questions they are designed to answer. The goal is to identify the most effective and innovative models that can contribute to the advancement of transplant immunology, testing the hypothesis that the use of novel surgical techniques and experimental models can significantly enhance our understanding of this complex field.
The scope of this research topic is defined by its focus on novel small animal models used in the study of transplant immunology. We welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- The use of novel surgical techniques in small animal models.
- The development and application of innovative experimental models.
- Comparative studies of different small animal models.
- The impact of these models on our understanding of transplant immunology.
- Future directions and potential improvements in small animal model research.
