Summary Annotation In a humanized mouse transplanted human tissues and cells show the same biological function as they do in the human body. It has become possible to study the pathophysiology and treatment of human diseases in mice with excellent reproducibility, a remarkable breakthrough. Unsurprisingly, the humanized mouse is proving to be one of the most powerful tools in basic and clinical research
