A laboratory test on a #fish has made it possible to choose the most adequate treatment for a patient with brain #cancer from among multiple seemingly equivalent therapeutic options. #AnimalResearch #Portugal fchampalimaud.org/news/first-tim…

TGR, a state-owned Italian news broadcaster, visited the animal facilities housing mice and zebrafish at @LaStatale, an EARA member. Read more to discover what the journalist Elena Cestino highlighted from these visits, including why animal research is still necessary and how animal welfare is supported at the facilities. 🔗 eara.eu/post/italian-a… #AnimalResearch #Italy #Transparency #mice #zebrafish #TGR #nationalTV #Research #Innovation #Rett

Research conducted in #mice illuminates the mechanism of an important #immune function that prevents inappropriate attacks on healthy tissue. #AnimalResearch med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/…

In 2026, ICLAS will proudly celebrate its 70th anniversary. This will be a significant milestone for our global organization, and we are preparing special activities throughout the year to mark this historic occasion. Learn more on our website: iclas.org/iclas70/

Researchers and clinicians in the UK have announced the birth of a #baby following a #womb transplant from a deceased donor, a major advance in #ReproductiveMedicine built on decades of prior animal research. 🔗 eara.eu/post/uk-baby-b… #newborn #transplant #MRKH #AnimalResearch

Our episode of #TransparencyThursday with Sanne Moorman, assistant professor at the University of #Groningen, is now live! Did you know that scientists learn a great deal about how we learn to speak as infants by listening to birds singing? 🔗 youtu.be/6elXiSZcMPk 🐦‍⬛ 🎶 #AnimalResearch #neuroscience #brain #speech #learning

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh and EARA member the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have uncovered how early nerve damage in #MultipleSclerosis can sometimes lead to self-repair. The study used #zebrafish, #mice and #brain tissue from people with #MS. 🔗 eara.eu/post/zebrafish… #myelin #microscopy #neuron #AnimalResearch #neurological #autoimmune #disease #health #BasicResearch #Research #Science

Your roommate’s genes could be influencing the bacteria living in your gut, and vice versa, according to a study using #rats at the Centre for Genomic Regulation, in Spain. #microbiota #AnimalResearch #genetics 🔗 crg.eu/en/news/can-yo…

Researchers at the University of Arkansas, US, have developed an experimental microneedle painkiller patch for #pigs that could improve animal welfare in farms. 🔗eurekalert.org/news-releases/…

Study using #mice discovered that repeated exercise doesn't strengthen only the muscles, but also the brain!

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a strategy that triple negative breast #cancer cells use to boost their ability to spread to other organs in #mice. 🔗bcm.edu/news/sticky-co…

Communicating research with animals on social networks and in the media requires strategy, consistency and anticipation of public scrutiny. This workshop is dedicated to those who communicate science in public contexts. #AnimalResearch #Communication #Scicomm #MediaTraining #Training #EARA #Research

Researchers developed drugs that act on a gene that protects from intestinal inflammation. In #mice, drugs reduced symptoms. Now, the team will continue to develop them and explore their potential as therapies immune diseases. #IBD #AnimalResearch broadinstitute.org/news/scientist…

To mark International Laboratory Animal Technician Week, we partnered with @iCBR_FMUC in Portugal to highlight the essential role of #AnimalTechs in research and the vital work that often happens behind the scenes. "Technicians Keep Research Sailing Forward" is this years' theme and we couldn't agree more! @ICLAS_ @AALASnational #AALAS #LaboratoryAnimalTechnicianWeek #LabAnimalTechnicians #TechsBringTheMagic #LabAnimalHeroes #LabTech #BiomedicalResearch #AnimalCare #AnimalWelfare #AnimalResearch

Human data and experiments in #mice and #zebrafish showed that a common pesticide increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease. #Neuroscience #AnimalResearch uclahealth.org/news/release/w…

In a study combining human samples and experiments in #mice, researchers found a key molecule that could be promising to prevent or decrease fibrosis in Crohn's and other inflammatory diseases. #IBD #AnimalResearch broadinstitute.org/news/researche…

Surveillance study in wild and domestic animals in the US found that SARS-CoV-2 is loosing its grip on the animal kingdom, suggesting reduced chance of new variants being transmitted from animals to humans. #COVID news.yale.edu/2026/01/09/sar…

Some animals live longer and reproduce only a few times, while others, such as mice, live for only a few years yet can reproduce hundreds of times. 🌍 A large #international study using records from 117 species living in #zoos and #aquariums worldwide has discovered that #contraception increases life expectancy in many species of mammals. eara.eu/post/mammals-l… #AnimalResearch #animals #mammals #reproduction #longevity #health

Researchers find how physical forces contribute to labour in #mice, which could help scientists better understand the roots of conditions such as stalled labor and preterm birth, guiding future efforts to develop treatments that improve maternal care. 👉scripps.edu/news-and-event…
