Animal and Cellular Models in Thrombosis and Hemostasis

Hamostaseologie. 2023 Oct;43(5):319-320. doi: 10.1055/a-2031-7975. Epub 2023 Oct 19.ABSTRACTSTANDARDIZED IN VITRO AND IN VIVO MODEL SYSTEMS TO SIMPLIFY COMPLEXITY-THAT'S HOW WE LEARN: The discovery of new target molecules and translational progress in the development and refinement of antithrombotic therapies as well as the improved treatment of bleeding disorders strongly relies on standardized ex vivo and in vivo models that closely resemble the respective human pathologies. The standardization of these models requires sound training in specialized hemostasis and thrombosis research laboratories as well as a consistent daily routine. In this theme issue of Hämostaseologie-Progress in Haemostasis, four review articles cover key models that have proven instrumental to gain mechanistic insights on thrombogenesis and hemostatic processes. In recent decades, these models have moved our field forward and enabled translation across scales, from cell-based research to isolated flow chamber systems, to mouse thrombosis models reflecting the pathologic situations as observed in patients, to large animal models.PMID:37857292 | DOI:10.1055/a-2031-7975
