Neuroscience

Biocytogen has developed a series of genetically engineered mouse models and neurological disease models, including Alzheimer's Disease (AD) , Aging & Inflammation, Pain and Migraine, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), and Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) models. A comprehensive behavioral testing platform has also been established to support preclinical drug development.

    Neurological Disease Model Introduction
    Central nervous system (CNS)-related diseases encompass a wide range of conditions, including cerebrovascular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, immune-mediated disorders, and others. In clinical practice, these diseases are also classified based on their anatomical location, such as brain disorders, spinal cord disorders, peripheral nerve disorders, and neuromuscular disorders. In recent years, the incidence of CNS diseases has steadily increased with rising life expectancy, and they are now widely recognized as a major global health concern.
    Animal models are indispensable tools in CNS disease research, given the complexity and heterogeneity of these conditions. They help to investigate the underlying pathological and molecular mechanisms, identify potential biomarkers, evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic interventions, and provide preliminary assessments of the safety and effectiveness of drug candidates in humans.
    Neuroscience Disease Models
    Alzheimer's Disease (AD) Models
    Alzheimer's disease, the most common cause of dementia, is a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder that gradually impairs cognitive functions such as memory, reasoning, and behavior.

    Behavior Testing Platform in Biocytogen

    Biocytogen has built a behavioral testing platform, including exercise and fatigue (rotarod , grip strength, beam balance, etc.), anxiety (open field, elevated maze), cognition (fear conditioning, barnes maze, Y-maze, novel object recognition , etc.), and perception (Vonfrey, hot-cold plates, scratching, etc.) tests, which can support preclinical efficacy studies in the fields of neuroscience and brain science.
