Group photo from the long Covid Discovery Day, bringing together representatives from AMACOP, CNB-CSIC, and EARA EARA’s Patient Discovery  Project, which raises awareness among patient groups about the role of biomedical research, including the ethical use of animals, while creating a space for informed dialogue, has reached Spain for the first time through a Discovery Day hosted by EARA member the National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC)  in collaboration with the Madri

This week, 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.  Felix, the channel’s host, witnesses how animals are housed and cared for, i

A study in Canada showed that exercise and stimulating environments protect the brain’s defensive barrier in mice exposed to chronic stress, preventing depression-like symptoms.  Depression is one of the most prevalent mental disorders, affecting more than 300 million people worldwide, and chronic stress is a significant risk factor.   Scientists at EARA member  Université Laval  demonstrated that when mice were exposed to chronic social stress, induced by encounters with a d

As the end of the year approaches, we reflect on the remarkable scientific discoveries made in 2025 across various fields, ensuring that all methodologies, including the use of animals, are integrated into the most contemporary biomedical research.
