The NRP 79 "Advancing 3R – Animals, research and society" wants to investigate how to advance the 3Rs (replace, reduce, refine) effectively, by identifying and addressing the potential, the challenges and limitations of the 3R approach. www.nrp79.ch
👏 Presenting steering committee member Jenny Sandström
She is responsible, realistic and receptive.
But what motivated her to take part in the NRP 79 and how will she contribute to it?

As the symposium on November 27 approaches, Herwig Grimm talks about current developments in animal experimentation — and how science can contribute to a more informed public dialogue.

🎉 50 years of National Research Programmes: science that serves society
Since 1975, over 84 NRPs have been providing the scientific basis for solutions to the major challenges of our time.
Good question and no easy answer. Maybe this paper helps. They found 4 important barriers and four facilitators.

Wie viel Leid darf ein Tierversuch verursachen – wenn er potenziell Leben rettet? Um Nutzen und Belastungen bewerten und gegeneinander abwägen zu können, bedarf es klarer Kriterien. Diese sind bis anhin noch ungenügend ausgearbeitet.

Watching the heart grow – in real time!
600–800 children are born with congenital heart disease each year in Switzerland. Instead of mice, Marco Osterwalder’s team at the University of Bern uses heart #organoids and AI to study heart development.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria kill 1.3 million people yearly, earning them the name "superbugs." As part of #NRP79, Andrea Endimiani's team at the University of Bern will develop a new model to analyze superbugs using insect larvae instead of mice. #Zophobasmorio

Are you for or against animal testing? There have been four public votes on this issue in Switzerland so far.
A team at University of Bern is analyzing media articles to explore arguments for and against, how they changed over time, and the role of the #3Rs.

Humans produce many chemicals, which are released into the environment. To ensure they’re safe, over 3 million fish are used annually for testing. A team at Eawag is working to replace these tests with new approach methods (NAMs) – with great success.

How the law regulates animal experiments – and how it could be improved. Animals are treated contradictorily: They may be used extensively (e.g. in experiments) but should be protected from “unnecessary” harm. Margot Michel’s group at UZH examines this.

What if we could unlock the secrets of embryonic development without using animals? Scientists at EPFL now engineer stem cells to mimic embryonic development in the lab. Project leader Alexandre Mayran explains his NRP 79 project.

How jelly helps reduce animal testing: Teams at ETH Zurich & Uni Fribourg developed a model of skin cancer based on human cells – no animals involved. Céline Labouesse (ETH) explains more in the video: youtu.be/vLaFKgPY1bs

How could the implementation of the 3Rs be improved?

The 3Rs are widely accepted in science and politics. However, in practice, the implementation of 3R methods is sometimes difficult.

As an alternative to this, Urs Meyer's team at the University of Zurich has developed the MDA method for rodents: The mice learn to drink the substance from the tip of a pipette. Advantages: This method is non-invasive, stress-free and inexpensive.

You wonder what mice, going to the grocery store, and condensed milk have to do with animal welfare? 🍼 🐁
In animal experiments, substances are often administered to animals orally, usually via a feeding tube that is inserted into the stomach, which can cause stress and injury.
