The 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) in #AnimalResearch aren’t just ethical principles—they’re game-changers! By embracing the #3Rs, researchers can achieve better data quality, meet regulatory standards, gain public trust, and cut costs - all while ensuring humane and responsible research practices. In this blog, authors Ashlie N. Reker, PhD and Christian Garcia, PhD explore 4 ways technology is leading the way to: 1. Provide safer pain management for animals 2. Enhance the animals’ environment 3. Better track and manage animal health 4. Optimize the vivarium and maintain the animal colony #AnimalWelfare #EthicalResearch #ResearchAdvancements #InvivoResearch

Did You Know? Labor Day originated on September 5, 1882 in New York City. It wasn’t until 1894 that it officially became a national holiday. This holiday is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of all of America’s workforce and their contributions to the strength and prosperity of our country. We’d like to honor the 2.2 million workers in the life sciences industry across the US who are having a profound impact on the lives of people. Wishing a Happy Labor Day to everyone who helps make America strong and healthy. #LaborDayHistory #ThankYouWorkers

Imagine living 20-25% longer, with lower cancer risk, better muscle function, and overall improved health. 🦸♀️ Or picture yourself at age 70 with a gorgeous head of hair AND in your natural color! Sounds amazing, doesn't it? Recent #invivo studies from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Duke-NUS Medical School are investigating interleukin-11 protein. Researchers believe this protein might be driving aging later in life. The results: Mice treated with the interleukin-11 protein exhibited a more youthful appearance, with improved muscle function, a leaner and healthier physique, a beautiful coat of fur, and better scores on frailty assessments, compared to their counterparts, who showed lower performance in all these areas. #AntiAging #ScientificBreakthrough #invivoresearch #HealthRevolution
