Several interesting new articles have just been added to www.animalexperiments.info, including one from the Int J Med Sci exploring the application of systematic reviews to the translation of results from animal models to human prediction; another from BMC Med Ethics on the historical basis for animal testing and contemporary scientific limitations of the practice; one from Psych Times on the use of animal models in the development of psychiatric drugs; and a highly recommended article from PLoS Med on the methodological flaws inherent within what is probably the majority of animal studies, and their translation to human predictions; and another in the Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging.

Hyperlinks to all can be found at http://www.animalexperiments.info/news.html
