🐭♀️ Changes to the X chromosome in females may increase the chances of developing #AutoimmuneDisease , finds research in #mice led by CNRS 🌍.

This effect could explain why women are more likely to have eg. #lupus & #arthritis .

🧬 A DZHK Germany study has used a #GeneEditing technique ( #CRISPRi ) to edit the heart muscle cells of #mice .

🫀 This could be a better method of research into #CardiovascularDiseases as it doesn't cause unintended changes in the genome.

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Prof Cheryl Ackert-Bicknell from the Colorado Program for Musculoskeletal Research who talked to us about why bones are so important and how little we know of the genetic determinants of bone pathologies. And mouse inbred strains can help! #bone #mousegenetics

Simple, but effective messaging from EARA member NKI Animal Facility

Earlier this month it was #BOARD24 : Be Open About Animal Research Day. De Gelderlander visited the Animal research facility to take a look. Read the (Dutch) article to learn more about the importance of animal research: 👉

Have you heard a lot about #AnimalResearch but never spoken to anyone who does it themselves?

The SAVIR stand in Zurich (Bahnhofstrasse) will discuss these topics on June 15 on the National Information Day on Laboratory Animals! #NIDEA

🇨🇭 In exactly one month, on June 15, the National Information Day of the Experimental Animal will take place in Switzerland!

🗣️ Researchers will be speaking to the public about the #AnimalResearch in Swiss institutions! Universität Bern Universität Basel University of Zurich EARA_CH

#NIDEA

It was an animated debate, with a full room, in the company of Rita Hasse Ferreira (IN2PAST), Nuno Miguel Gonçalves (@The_EARA) and Miguel Ferreira (@CFE_UC), moderated by Joana Lobo Antunes🔬💬 (@istecnico). (2/2)
