  5. The Animals & Society Chair at URJC University has published "Primum non nocere", an article about replacing #AnimalExperimentation with ethical, modern, human-relevant alternatives in neurodegenerative diseases research. And #GNUHealth is part of it ❤️👇

  7. On my way to London to participate on a #OrganOnAChip MasterClass. :anarchoheart2:

    As scientists, it's a moral obligation to embrace state-of-the-art, human relevant biomedical research that is free of #AnimalCruelty.
    It's time to eradicate the cruel, obsolete and failed business of #AnimalExperimentation from science.

  9. A great read from The Guardian today, with a scientist boldly calling for an end to #AnimalTesting:

    Australian scientists grow replica human lungs and call for end to animal testing - An exclusive story by Melissa Davey

    ‘Everyone told me it would never work’, says professor of nanomedicine, but science needs alternatives to experimenting on animals

    theguardian.com/science/2023/a

    Some key passages from the story:

    "
    “In the past, I was involved in a trial with baboons, and they are really intelligent. The moment you start approaching their cage they start screaming, hitting things, and hiding. They know that something wrong is going to be done to them. It is heartbreaking.”

    Chrzanowski sounded distressed when he recalled working with a vegan scientist who began vomiting in the laboratory after being involved in animal research. Rather than accepting such experiments as a reality of working in medicine, he decided there had to be a better way.

    Aside from animal welfare concerns, findings from studies in animals are often not even applicable to or reproducible in humans, due to differences in biochemistry and anatomy. Yet it is difficult to gain ethics approval and funding for clinical trials in humans to test the safety and efficacy of drugs and treatments without first proving safety in animals.
