In the decade since the creation of the Concordat on Openness on Animal Research, 64 signatories publish statistics on the number and species of animals used in research. Before 2014, that number was 0. Transparency is the best way forward in improving research, animal welfare, & public dialogue.
Being open about #AnimalResearch means building trust with the public, helping people understand that this is essential work that is done for the benefit of society. #Openness #AnimalTesting #BOARD25 #transparency

Delighted to share the first major output from our CRUK-funded programme on Early Detection of Mesothelioma: DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-63846-9 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A histomorphological atlas of resected mesothelioma discovered by self-supervised learning from 3446 whole-slide images - Nature Communications
Mesothelioma is a highly lethal cancer that remains challenging to diagnose. Here, the authors curate a histomorphological atlas of resected mesothelioma and map it using self-supervised AI endorsed by human pathological assessment, revealing patterns that generate highly interpretable predictions.
