This journal focuses on the use of animals in biomedical research, emphasizing the importance of understanding animal models for disease pathogenesis, therapeutic interventions, and safety assessments. It covers topics related to the interpretation of animal study data, considering factors like species, strain, sex, age, and spontaneous conditions that can influence research validity and animal welfare. The journal also addresses the reproducibility and translatability of animal models to human applications, including the development and assessment of animal models for human diseases and the ethical considerations of animal research.
