The...methods of scientific inquiry have greatly reduced the incidence of human disease and have substantially increased life expectancy. Those results have come largely through experimental methods based in part on the use of animals.
Animal studies have been an essential component of every field of medical research and have been crucial for the acquisition of basic knowledge in biology.
Animal-based research has played a key role in understanding infectious diseases, neuroscience, physiology, and toxicology. Experimental results from animal studies have served as the basis for many key biomedical breakthroughs.
...animal models are central to the effective study and discovery of treatments for human diseases.
Biomedical research depends on the use of animal models to understand the pathogenesis of human disease at a cellular and molecular level and to provide systems for developing and testing new therapies.
