Did you know that nearly 50% of pre-clinical trials (animal studies) fail 😑, often leading to the rejection of potentially life-saving drugs? This happens largely because these drugs aren't deemed safe for animals, despite the fact that animal biology differs significantly from human biology. What if we're missing out on treatments that could be safe and effective for humans? It's time to rethink 🤔 our reliance on animal models and explore alternative approaches that better predict human responses. 🧬 #HumanHealth #AnimalTesting #iPSC #OOC #NAM

“[Scientists who use animals in research] have just been trained in using animals for so long that either they kid themselves into believing in it or they just hold onto this last hope that it will help humans, somehow, someday”   Frances Cheng Biomedical researcher, quoted in Animal Liberation Now (Chapter 2, page 83).     Help Animal-Free Science Advocacy to end #animalexperimentation in Australian #biomedical #research, learn more:   https://lnkd.in/gkv_ZXHB   #EndAnimalExperimentation #EndAnimalExperiments #EndAnimalTesting #CrueltyFree #AnimalExperiments #AnimalExperimentation #AnimalTesting #AnimalFreeScience #AnimalFreeResearch

You may have heard about the world’s first pig to human kidney transplant in the media recently.   The use of transgenic organs has not prevented the rejection of xenotransplants thus far, ultimately leading to the death of the organ recipient. Fifty years of failure of animal-based xenotransplantation should serve to temper expectations of imminent ‘breakthroughs’.   It's time to invest in ethical, human-relevant research rather than resting our hopes on so-called ‘breakthroughs’ reliant on the commodification of animals.   https://lnkd.in/gTjbaCTy   Image credit: We Animals Media #EndAnimalExperimentation #EndAnimalExperiments #EndAnimalTesting #CrueltyFree #AnimalExperiments #AnimalExperimentation #AnimalTesting #AnimalFreeScience #AnimalFreeResearch #Xenotransplantation 

Thank you to those who attended CURIS System's presentation 'Advancing Decontamination in Animal Life Sciences: Insights from an Avian Researach Center Study' yesterday at the National Capital Area Branch Annual Seminar: If you have questions about the presentation, or missed it, please stop by our table and speak with Michael Grinstead. Our representatives are available to answer your decontamination questions and discuss your challenges... they look forward to meeting you today at the NCAB AALAS Conference! #NCAB #AALAS #CURISSystem #decontamination #biodecontamination #AnimalScience #laboratoryresearch
