Animal disease models are used in a variety of settings in basic research, such as studies on mechanisms of disease progression and evaluation new drugs. Animal models can be broadly classified into five categories: 1) experimental, 2) spontaneous, 3) negative, 4) orphan, 5) genetically engineered. Experimental models, which are induced artificially in the laboratory, are most common. Some small molecular compounds are usually used as inducers for animal models, such as Ceruletide for inflammatory model, Azoxymethane for tumor model. These inducers are useful tool in building animal models.

MCE offers a unique collection of 50 animal model inducers, involving inflammatory model, tumor model, nervous disease model, etc. MCE Animal Disease Model library is a powerful tool for the establishment of animal disease models.

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF), also known as diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, is a very common end-stage manifestation of several diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary hypertension, and scleroderma, characterised by excessive matrix deposition and destruction of the lung architecture, finally leading to respiratory insufficiency. PF has become a global disease with significantly increased incidence rate, and the most common form of pulmonary fibrosis is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Lung fibrosis is a complex disease, a multitude of signal factors and signaling pathways is disrupted in this complex disease, such as TGF-β, Wnt, VEGF and PI3K–Akt. MCE offers a unique collection of 1676 compounds with identified and potential anti-pulmonary fibrosis activity. MCE Anti-Pulmonary Fibrosis Compound Library is a useful tool for anti-pulmonary fibrosis drugs screening and other related research.
