Breakthroughs in Humanized Mouse and Rat Model Technologies
Humanized mouse and rat models are laboratory rodents genetically engineers to carry human genes, cells, tissues, or immune systems, which enable researchers to study human-specific diseases, immune reactions, and effects of drugs in a living organism. The market is growing rapidly for these models due to rising demand for more predictive preclinical tools in oncology, infectious diseases and immunotherapy research. As traditional animal models often fail to mimic the accurate mimic of human biology, humanized rodents provided a more reliable platform for drug development, personal medical and translation research, which runs their adoption in drugs and educational fields.
Key Growth Drivers and Opportunities
Infectious Diseases and Immunotherapy Research: Increasing prevalence of infectious diseases and rapid expansion of immunotherapy research are the major driver of the humanized mouse and rat model market, as these models closely mimic human immune responses and disease progression. They provide an important platform to evaluate vacancies, antiviral drugs and immune-based treatments in human-affected context. With the increasing demand for individual and targeted remedies, especially in oncology and virology, the requirement of an exact pre -pricing model is rapidly growing, leading to indispensable equipment in translation and drug development research to human rodents.
Challenges
Humanized mouse and rat model market face high production costs, technical complexity in genetic engineering and limited enclosure efficiency of human cells or tissues in some models. Additionally, these rodents are not fully repeated to all aspects of human physiology, causing the disease progression and discrepancies in the reaction of the drug. Moral concerns and regulatory barriers also face challenges, especially in studies associated with human immune components or fetal tissue, potentially slow down widespread adoption and commercialization.
Innovation and Expansion
Researchers Create the First Whole Humanized Immune System in a Mouse Model
In July 2024, Researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio have developed a humanized mouse model that can mount certain antibody responses because it has a human immune system and a gut flora similar to that of humans. The multi-year effort, which was published in the August 2024 issue of Nature Immunology, aimed to build a humanized mouse with a fully functional human immune system in order to overcome the limits of the in vivo human models that are currently available.
Human T and B lymphocytes, memory B lymphocytes, lymph nodes, germinal centers, thymus human epithelial cells, and plasma cells that produce highly specific antibodies and autoantibodies that are identical to those of humans are all present in the resulting humanized mice, known as TruHuX.
Biologics UK Presents GemPharmatech's Humanized Mouse Models for COVID-19 and Bispecific Antibody Research
In September 2021, At the Biologics UK Oxford Global Conference, held September 6–8, 2021, in London, UK, GemPharmatech co-hosted a panel discussion on bispecific antibodies and showcased its humanized mouse models to promote T-Cell Bispecific antibody and COVID-19 preclinic development. Hundreds of academic and industry researchers, as well as commercial partners from across the world, attended the conference, which is the largest in-person biologics event in London.
Large pharmaceutical and biotech companies, contract research organizations (CROs), universities, and research institutions across the US are among the R&D communities that GPT serves with animal models and related services. GPT has partnered with these organizations in the US to enable shorter shipping times and lower costs.
