Newly published statistics on the use of animals in research for 2023 in Germany show both a significant short and long-term decline in animal numbers.The total number of animals used was 1,456,562, a drop of 16% from 2022 (1,725,855), and in comparison to pre-Covid (2019) figures the total number has fallen by more than a quarter (27%).In its press release TVV, the German animal research advocacy organisation, noted that the efforts to reduce animal testing are clearly bearing fruit, but the ra

An ultra-thin light probe that reaches deep into the brain could provide a non-invasive way to detect chemical changes caused by tumours or brain injuries, following research in mice.The study, by the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), and also involving EARA member the University of Padua, Italy, developed a probe, less than one-millimetre wide, that projects a thin beam of light.This ‘molecular flashlight’, was successfully inserted
