The second edition of The Minipig in Biomedical Research is a comprehensive resource for research scientists on the use of the minipig in basic and applied biomedical research. Written by experts in the field, coverage extends from the minipig’s origins, anatomy, genetics, immunology, pathology and physiology to its welfare, health, and husbandry; practical dosing and examination procedures; surgical techniques; and all areas of toxicity testing and the uses of the minipig as a disease model. The book represents the state of the art, recognising the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence, and where appropriate, relevant databases are referenced. The future of minipigs with respect to genome editing and possible use in transplantation research makes this a very interesting model.Since the first edition was published there has been a considerable increase in scientific, industrial and regulatory interest in the minipig; in some jurisdictions, for instance the UK, it is mandated that the minipig should be considered as a first-line non-rodent model. The expert authors in this new edition have given practical details and extensive examples of its successful application in many fields including surgery, drug development and safety testing. Greater emphasis is given to the origins and uses of several different strains of minipig, the greater understanding of genomics, genetic manipulation, immunology, their value in the development of novel exploratory and therapeutic implantable devices, and genetic and surgical procedures.The second edition includes full color throughout, with high-quality illustrations, making it the go-to guide and resource for present and potential new users of minipigs.

Together, these three seminal reference works provide all the information needed to work with pigs in laboratory settings. For three decades, Swine in the Laboratory has been the most respected practical technical guide for medical and veterinary researchers using swine as experimental animals. Sponsored by the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM), it continues to be the most authoritative source of scientific and technical information on the use of domestic and miniature swine in research.Anatomy and Histology of the Pig is the first guide specific to swine since 1982. The high-quality, detailed full-color illustrations are accompanied by written material specific to each porcine anatomic section, with English-labeled terms for the various anatomic structures. The book covers all the major areas of interest in swine, including cardiovascular, digestive, neurologic, and thoracic structures. Differences between domestic and miniature pigs are discussed and a full-color histology section concludes the book.Finally, the second edition of The Minipig in Biomedical Research is a comprehensive resource for research scientists on the use of the minipig in basic and applied biomedical research. Written by experts in the field, coverage extends from the minipig’s origins, anatomy, genetics, immunology, pathology and physiology to its welfare, health, and husbandry; practical dosing and examination procedures; surgical techniques; and all areas of toxicity testing and the uses of the minipig as a disease model. The book represents the state of the art, recognising the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence, and where appropriate, relevant databases are referenced.
