PY - 2015 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Surgery, 14e AB - The ability to transplant human organs successfully has developed in the span of a single generation of physicians and surgeons. This remarkable achievement is an excellent example of how animal models may be used to understand and develop treatments for human disease.
