These impact marine ecosystems and food webs and may result in consequences as yet unrecognised for the biodiversity and continuation of marine life forms.
For instance, humanized mice have been utilized to study human-tropic pathogens, liver cancer models, and the comparison of mouse models to human diseases NSG mice engrafted with PBMCs and administered with myelin antigens in Freund's adjuvant, and antigen-pulsed autologous dendritic cells have been used to study multiple sclerosis.
