🇪🇺 EU:s statistik över djurforskning för 2023 har publicerats
🇸🇪 I Sverige ser vi en minskning med 5,4 %, jämfört med 2022 (243.761).
Möss, fiskar och råttor stod för 91,9 % av alla djur som användes.

Forskare vid @UniofExeter har för första gången genredigerat vaxmalen (en typ av nattfjäril) 🧬🦋
Ett steg som kan göra den till ett alternativ till gnagare i vissa studier, t. ex. inom #infektionsforskning.

En titt bakom kulisserna i Tyskland 🇩🇪
Det populära YouTube-kontot Tomatolix besökte Medizinische Hochschule Hannover. Forskare förklarar varför #djurförsök ibland behövs, hur djurens välfärd skyddas och hur alternativ utvecklas.
The popular German YouTube channel Tomatolix published a behind-the-scenes video exploring animal research at EARA member Hannover Medical School (MHH). The video offers a clear example of transparency in action, with scientists openly explaining why some research still requires animals and how efforts are being made to minimise harm and develop alternatives that could reduce their use. #Transparency #AnimalResearch #Germany https://t.co/anLpi5Ik4j

🟣En lila tomat - det handlar egentligen inte om färgen, utan om den höga koncentrationen av antioxidanter som är bra för hälsan.
De genetiskt modifierade tomaterna gjorde att möss som är benägna att utveckla cancer levde 30% längre. 🐭

UK newspaper The Times recently reported renewed efforts to introduce a genetically modified purple tomato into British supermarkets, following prior testing in mice.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, with around 87% of patients expected to die within five years of diagnosis. Researchers @CNIOStopCancer have eliminated pancreatic cancer in #mice using a combination of three drugs that target genes involved in tumour growth.

Study from EARA member @universitelaval shows that exercise and enriched environments protect the brain barrier in mice under chronic stress, reducing depression-like behaviours.

Smart återanvändning av forskningsdata:
Forskare vid @DKFZ har tränat AI på medicinska bilder från djur för att förbättra kirurgisk bildgivning hos människor. #Djurförsök#3Rs
German researchers at @DKFZ used medical images from animals to train an AI that improves surgical imaging in humans. By focusing on tissue oxygen patterns across species, the model supports safer, more precise surgery and is now open-source.

YouTubern @tomatolix från Tyskland frågar varför djurförsök ibland fortfarande behövs, hur de genomförs och hur forskare arbetar med att hitta alternativ.
#djurförsök#3R
This week, @tomatolix explores Hannover Medical School's facility, an example of transparency in action: scientists openly show why some research still requires animals and how they're trying to develop potential alternatives to reduce animal use. #AnimalResearch

Djurtekniker spelar en avgörande roll inom forskningen - ett arbete som oftast sker bakom kulliserna.
Kolla videon från @iCBR_FMUC i Portugal och se hur djurteknikerna tar hand om försöksdjur med stor omsorg.
#Djurförsök#Forskning#Djurtekniker#AnimalTechs
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!

Scientists from Fiocruz and UFRJ found that #mosquitoes in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest are now more likely to feed on #humans due to #biodiversity loss. Identifying feeding patterns can aid in #surveillance, prevention and control strategies. https://t.co/vPTMPFEDwK

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. https://t.co/LfPldA0AW6 #AnimalResearch #animals #mammals #reproduction #longevity #health

Ett smart piller som skickar en signal när det har tagits 👇
💊🐖Patienter glömmer ofta att ta sin medicin, vilket kan påverka behandlingen. Det här pillret från @MIT, testat i en studie med grisar, signalerar när det har intagits.
#Djurförsök#läkemedel#hälsa
Patients often miss their pills or stop treatments early, which is a widespread healthcare problem.
💊 Researchers @MIT have developed a pill in pigs that sends a signal when it’s swallowed and could help doctors monitor if patients take their pills according to their prescription.
