Laboratory gerbil

Laboratory gerbil. Laboratory gerbil for use in animal experiments. Animals such as this are used to test the safety of non-medical substances (such as cosmetics or pesticides) or in medical experiments to test the effects of new drugs. Animals have also been used to produce vaccines and hormones such as insulin. Animal experimentation is controversial and alternatives are being developed. However, many animal experiments remain compulsory by law before new products can be released

Animal Experiment Experimentation Experiments Laboratory Animal Medical Research Scientific Testing Tests Gerbil

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a laboratory gerbil, an essential component of animal experiments in scientific research. These small creatures play a crucial role in testing the safety and efficacy of various substances, including cosmetics, pesticides, and new drugs. Additionally, they have been instrumental in producing vital vaccines and hormones like insulin. While animal experimentation remains controversial due to ethical concerns, it is currently mandated by law before new products can be released into the market. However, the scientific community is actively developing alternative methods to reduce reliance on animals for testing purposes. The image beautifully captures the essence of this laboratory gerbil - its curious eyes peering out from behind glass walls symbolize its contribution to advancing medical research and understanding biological processes. The intricate network of tubes within its enclosure represents the controlled environment necessary for conducting precise experiments. Science enthusiasts and researchers alike will appreciate this thought-provoking photograph that encapsulates both the benefits and controversies surrounding animal experimentation. It serves as a reminder that while these practices are integral to scientific progress, continuous efforts are being made towards finding innovative alternatives that minimize harm to animals while still ensuring human safety.
