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

Researchers in Spain have eliminated pancreatic cancer in mice using a combination of three drugs that target genes involved in tumour growth.  Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, with around 87% of patients expected to die within five years of diagnosis. This disease often develops silently deep within the abdomen, and by the time it is detected, it has usually spread to other organs, making surgery difficult or impossible. While chemotherapy can kill cancer c

Research institutions in Spain continue to strengthen their commitment to openness about animal research, according to the latest evaluation report covering 2024 and produced by the European Animal Research Association (EARA).

In November, EARA advanced its mission on three major international stages — the AALAS National Meeting (Long Beach, USA), the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting (San Diego, USA) and the SECAL National Congress (Bilbao, Spain) — putting patient engagement, openness and responsible communication at the centre of global discussions on animal research. 

Spanish researchers captured the first video of a human embryo implanting in a uterus, which could help improve understanding of the natural process and improve fertility and assisted reproduction techniques. 

Researchers in Spain identified a molecule produced by bacteria in the gut that could aid in the early diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis, a type of cardiovascular disease. 

The movie, Infiltrada en el Búnker (Undercover: Inside the Bunker) uses a mixture of documentary footage, long fictional scenes and undercover film taken inside the research facility Vivotecnia in Madrid, Spain, and sets out to condemn the use of animals in scientific research.
