Post-puff brain state might not be an emotion, some researchers caution, but the protocol provides a cross-species approach to study emotions.

Hosted by the European Animal Research Association (EARA), this workshop is dedicated to improving the quality of NTS.

The skin microbiome plays an important role in health and disease. We have recently shown that microbes living on the skin regulate the immunomodulatory properties of UVR, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be uncovered. Using a preclinical model of immunosuppression against the chemical allergen 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene, 16S microbiome sequencing, in vitro cultures, high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and the generation of gnotobiotic-like mice, we report that acute UVB radiation induces a transient and significant restructuring of bacterial communities on the skin through one of its major photoproducts, cis-urocanic acid.

Reducing the number of animals used in experimentation is a key challenge in research. To address this issue, the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló and the company Semicrol, S.L. have developed a...

In Zambia, a peculiar trend has swept through a group of chimpanzees: blades of grass, stylishly dangling from ears and their behinds.
