Animal experiments
This week's News Feature section focuses on lab animals. We ask what scientists really think about the use of animals in research and look at attitudes to research on primates and the implications of the expected explosion in the number of mice used in experiments, as mouse disease models proliferate and are refined. Join the discussion of these pieces and the reaction to them in the news blog on http://tinyurl.com/ym4k9w.
