COMMENTS

  1. WHY ANIMAL RESEARCH?

    There are several reasons why the use of animals is critical for biomedical research: • Animals are biologically very similar to humans. In fact, mice share more than 98% DNA with us! • Animals are susceptible to many of the same health problems as humans - cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. • With a shorter life cycle than humans ...

  2. Animal Research

    Animals provide a way to study the fundamental workings of the human body and explore how its basic building blocks—molecules and cells—work in health and disease. In doing so, researchers can unravel the most basic mechanisms that fuel illness. Animal models help researchers understand how the normal processes in molecules, cells, and ...

  3. Research using animals: an overview

    There is overwhelming scientific consensus worldwide that some animals are still needed in order to make medical progress. Where animals are used in research projects, they are used as part of a range of scientific techniques. These might include human trials, computer modelling, cell culture, statistical techniques, and others.

  4. Why Animal Research Is Necessary

    In an effort to reduce the use of animals in clinical research, in December 2022 the U.S. government passed legislation that allows drug manufacturers to submit testing data based on non-animal alternatives for biosimilar drugs — medicines that are highly similar to other, already approved ones. However, for safety and efficacy reasons, the U ...

  5. What Animal Research Has Given Us

    Here are just a few of the life-altering, life-extending, and lifesaving medical advancements that animal research has made possible: Therapies for diabetes, high blood pressure, various forms of heart disease, high cholesterol, cancer, kidney disease, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and more. Organ transplantation. Antibiotics.

  6. Modernizing Medical Research to Benefit People and Animals

    Separating the scientific and ethical cases for modernizing medical research may now be an artificial distinction. The ability of medical research to benefit patients is, of course, an ethical question, and so animal research involves human, as well as animal, ethical considerations. Governments and other organizations that use public funds to ...

  7. Animal Experiments in Biomedical Research: A Historical Perspective

    Abstract. The use of non-human animals in biomedical research has given important contributions to the medical progress achieved in our day, but it has also been a cause of heated public, scientific and philosophical discussion for hundreds of years. This review, with a mainly European outlook, addresses the history of animal use in biomedical ...

  8. Why Animal Research?

    Modern medical research, including research using animals, is necessary to understanding disease and creating medicines to improve human and animal lives and reduce suffering. Every known medical breakthrough known has a basis in animal research and all of the top 25 most prescribed drugs were developed with the assistance of animal models.

  9. The Importance of Animal Models in Biomedical Research: Current

It is the Association's firm belief ...

  11. The Importance of Animal Testing in Biomedical Research

    Role of Animal Research in Medical Advances. Virtually every major medical advance of the last century has depended upon research with animals. Animals have served as surrogates in the investigation of human diseases and have yielded valuable data in the process of discovering new ways to treat, cure or prevent them.

  12. Home

    A n estimated 26 million animals are used for research, testing, and education in the United States each year. More than 70,000 of them are nonhuman primates. New initiatives in the United States and abroad are seeking to replace animals with alternative models for ethical and scientific reasons. The Hastings Center has organized this ...

    Our novel economic analysis sized the potential Australian market for two non-animal models: organoids and organs-on-chips. Other models were unable to be sized due to a lack of global market data ...

  16. Why Do Scientists Use Animals in Research

    However, the most important reason why animals are used is that it would be wrong to deliberately expose human beings to health risks in order to observe the course of a disease. Animals are needed in research to develop drugs and medical procedures to treat diseases. Scientists may discover such drugs and procedures using research methods that ...

  17. Animal Research

    Americans for Medical Progress endorses the "3Rs": refinement of tests so animal distress or pain is minimal, reduction of the number of animals used in a study, and the replacement, whenever possible, of animal experiments with non-animal experiments.We actively champion the development, validation, use and regulatory acceptance of alternatives to animal research.

  18. Role of animal models in biomedical research: a review

    Abstract. The animal model deals with the species other than the human, as it can imitate the disease progression, its' diagnosis as well as a treatment similar to human. Discovery of a drug and/or component, equipment, their toxicological studies, dose, side effects are in vivo studied for future use in humans considering its' ethical issues.
