While not exhaustive, this list includes recent publications (2019 onwards) that outline the types of experimentation to which animals are subjected in Australian laboratories. More detailed profiles of Australian animal research can be found in our case studies.

abstract = {Scientists developed a genetically modified mouse that continuously produces the gene-editing tool Cas12a, allowing them to edit genes in living animals, including for cancer research. They created gene-editing libraries to study gene function and analysed immune cells from the spleen, bone marrow and lymph nodes using flow cytometry. Some mice received bone marrow transplants after radiation to study blood cell regeneration, while others developed lymphoma and were euthanised for further study. Scientists also switched specific genes on or off in immune cells to investigate their role in disease and immunity.},
