Gene Expression: the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein coding genes such as transfer RNA (tRNA) or small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes, the product is a functional RNA. The process of gene expression is used by all known life-eukaryotes (including multicellular organisms), prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea), and utilized by viruses-to generate the macromolecular machinery for life.
The National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs) is leading an initiative to improve the design and reporting of animal research. The ARRIVE (A...
The fate of all but a very few laboratory animals is to be killed at the end of their experimental lives. There is a moral responsibility to give the animals used in science a humane death by...
In the last decade the number of publications in zebrafish tripled, from 938 in 2005 to 2432 in 2015 (Pubmed database; keyword: “zebrafish” in Title/Abstract;...
Public, legal & ethical acceptability of animal research not only warrants respect for animal welfare & the 3Rs, but also that the perceived benefits can outweigh the pain, discomfort...
A number of elements come into the mix when trying to optimise experimental design. Among these are having clear objectives, setting up valid comparisons, knowing how to avoid bias during the...
Animal models have provided an important tool to help make the decision to take potential therapies from preclinical studies to humans. In the past several years, the strong reliance of the p...
Understanding systematic biases in primary research are important for appropriate interpretation of research and recognizing features of reproducible research. Systematic biases arise from th...
Surgerized animals play a crucial role in preclinical research aimed at drug and medical device discovery into treatments for humans. When implementing new in-house surgical models to perform...
The use of laboratory animals requires education and training of persons who are to design and/or perform animal experiments. It is essential for these persons to practice various procedures...
This presentation will discuss variables in rodent colony management that can affect colony breeding efficiency, rodent health, and factors that can modulate rodent models of disease. V...
Animal studies still play a crucial role in research aimed at improving human health care. When performing animal studies, the results and their interpretation are not always straightforward....

Translational failure in biomedicine has led to much soul-searching about the causes for this. Amongst many others (misunderstanding of statistical tests, vibration of effects, flexibility in...
Noise and vibration are very effective activators of stress pathways in rodent models that can increase variability in animal models, thereby confounding virtually every area of biomedical an...
Quality animal research is based on quality animal care and use. This is achieved by coordinating several key personnel and activities, and implementing appropriate animal care and use proced...
Why did we change focus from the 3Rs to Systematic Reviews? Questionnaires on the 3Rs have revealed that the 3R search gets no high priority and the 3R search process is never included in fun...
