Chinese hamsters are experimental animals originally from China. They play an important role in experimental research on medicine and biology. They are widely used in life science research, such as genetics, infectious diseases, tissue culture, especially in animal models and mechanism research, such as diabetes and oral cancer. This paper reviews the relevant applied studies of Chinese hamsters in disease animal models since its development, and discusses the advantages and problems associated with the use of these animals in biomedical research.
