This #WorldCancerDay, we remember the shockingly large number and variety of animals that are used in cancer research year after year despite crucial differences between animals and humans. These experiments are cruel, hold back breakthroughs, and cause suffering to countless animals. At Animal Free Research UK, our scientists and laboratories push the latest animal free technological and research boundaries with cutting-edge technologies which are best placed to discover treatments for human diseases and save precious time and lives. Each project we fund is a step along the road to completely replacing animals in medical research. As well as saving millions of animals from laboratories, animal free research will save human lives. #worldcancerday #animalfreeresearch #kinderscience

A 3D model of imitation blood vessels will make it possible to see exactly how snake venom attacks blood vessels, without having to use laboratory animals.

Not your usual immunology/sciencey post from me, but I couldn’t not share this video I took today of a beautiful Angle Shades moth (Phlogophora meticulosa) I found this evening. I’m not a lepidopterist but I’ve had a fascination with butterflies and moths ever since I can remember, and I don’t think moths get enough credit, such a pivotal part of our ecosystem and huge contributors to nocturnal pollination! If you have a garden then please consider leaving a “wild” portion to allow the growth of plants critical for pollinating species, such as wildflowers and ragwort. Ragwort is the host plant of cinnabar moths (Tyria jacobaeae) which have been in decline in recent years, and of course wildflowers are great for bees! With the climate changing so much over the last few years, it’s super important now more than ever that we’re able to help support all types of pollinators and give them a chance to thrive, we need them more than you can imagine! #moth #moths #lepidopterology #bees #savethebees #pollinators #climatechange #rewilding

?? Aussie researchers are exploring the potential of spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) technologies, currently under clinical development to reverse human infertility, for application in wildlife conservation. ?? ???By studying molecular mechanisms controlling SSC function in laboratory rodents and humans,?we can apply the knowledge to develop strategies to conserve threatened Australian marsupials.??? This involves biobanking tissue containing SSCs from endangered and vulnerable wildlife species, paralleling strategies used for paediatric human patients.?? ???? The application of these methods in species conservation protocols has the potential to transform current efforts to maintain genetic diversity and conservation of endangered and vulnerable wildlife species. ??

We are thrilled to announce our next Symposium!!! ?? Signal Crayfish Virtual Symposium 12 Apr 2024 | Virtual Symposium | ￡25 |?? Invasive crayfish are one of the biggest threats to aquatic ecosystems worldwide. They can cause major adverse effects on native crayfish, invertebrates, fish and plant communities as well as bank erosion and sedimentation. The American Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) has been responsible for a massive decline in the UK's native White-clawed Crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) due to competition and the transmission of a deadly disease, crayfish plague. It continues to expand across Great Britain and Europe, causing major negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems. A variety of signal crayfish control methods have been attempted with varying degrees of success. This Signal Crayfish Virtual Symposium will bring together conservationists, ecologists, freshwater biologists and more to discuss the latest in Signal Crayfish control in Europe and what more can be done. This event will be hosted by Dr Nicky Green and feature four presentations that focus on the current situation in the UK, trapping & fish predation, crayfish barriers and gene editing, together with a panel discussion. Bookings now open. https://lnkd.in/dV6R4Q7U
