TomBAvoider Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 I've been on a many years campaign to stop the hype and point out when studies are IN MICE. Apparently I'm not alone.

KHashmi316 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I think I posted on this topic a few years back ... but human science was unaware of an important human-rodent similarity (or lack of) until 20-friggin'-16. https://www.nature.com/news/first-rodent-found-with-a-human-like-menstrual-cycle-1.20072 Quote First rodent found with a human-like menstrual cycle--The spiny mouse could one day aid studies of women's reproductive problems. All that said, I do find rodent studies -- and their continued use -- of extraordinary importance to biological medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
