SLEEP-DISORDERED BREATHING: EXPLORING A HUMAN DISORDER USING ANIMAL MODELS
"Sleep-disordered breathing—and in particular, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)—and its comorbidities have a major impact both on individual health and on health care systems in general. The use of animal models is essential as investigators continue to learn about OSA and advance the transition from identifying mechanisms of injury to developing therapeutic interventions."

To All Readers/Authors:
If you have a manuscript or laboratory refinement that relates to science-based, high-quality, humane care of animals, novel animal or other biological models for the study of disease, or any other topic pertinent to the mission of ILAR, you may submit it for publication in the ILAR e-Journal. Preferential consideration is given to manuscripts relating to recent (or forthcoming) topics published in the print edition.

Interested authors should follow the ILAR Journal Instructions to Authors, email their manuscript to ILAR@nas.edu, and include "Prospective MS" in the subject line of the email.

The ILAR Journal is the quarterly, peer-reviewed publication of the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR). In keeping with the ILAR mission, invited authors provide thoughtful and timely information for all who use, care for, and oversee the use of laboratory animals. Issue themes and article topics are pertinent for investigators in biomedical and related research, institutional officials for research, veterinarians, and members of animal care and use committees. The ILAR e-Journal is the peer-reviewed electronic companion and supplement to our print journal and provides additional laboratory animal research content online in conjunction with the quarterly print issues of the Journal. The ILAR Journal is indexed in MEDLINE, AGRICOLA, EMBASE, and Thomson ISI^®.

ILAR e-Journal is available ONLY ONLINE. Institutional members have online access to current ILAR Journal and ILAR e-Journal content. For more information, contact Kathleen Beil at Kbeil@nas.edu.
