animal-human studies

Animal-human studies, often referred to as preclinical studies, involve research on animals to gain insights that can be applied to human health. These studies help scientists understand biological processes, test new medications, and evaluate safety before clinical trials in humans. By observing how animals react to certain treatments or interventions, researchers can make informed predictions about potential effects in humans. This approach is crucial for ensuring that new therapies are effective and safe before they are tested on people, thereby advancing medical knowledge and improving health outcomes.
