Excited to share our new paper: despite 61% of #HCM studies still using only male rodents, we show that including both sexes reveals critical differences in behaviour and disease progression that would otherwise remain hidden.

A review of behavioural studies using home-cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial...
@cost-teatime.bsky.social has been working to raise awareness on how we monitor lab animals, advancing welfare & research reproducibility with home-cage monitoring.
