Please read and share this opinion piece written by Carole LaBonne (our fellow Xenopus researcher) published in STAT in support for animal models in biomedical research. www.statnews.com/2025/05/19/a... #science #devbio #xenopus #frogs

There is no replacement (yet) for animal models in medical research

The NIH is “reducing animal use in research.” But there is no replacement for animal models.

Please DO NOT USE AI to make this kind of terrible "diagrams" (whatever this is) to showcase our work. What are the pink and purple things? And what is "secrentry"? Trying to contact Scienmag.com
