Guidelines for planning animal experiments for research:a PREPARE Interpretation
Preclinical animal experiments are a key link between basic medicine and clinic,and the standard-ization of animal experiment design is crucial for the quality,reproducibility and credibility of the results of animal experiments.In this paper,we introduced the international research planning guidelines for animal experiments(PREPARE),covering three major areas(formulation of a study,dialogue between scientists and the animal facility,quality control of the components in the study)and containing 15 entries and 42 subentries,with the aim to popularize the relevant knowledge and improve researchers'attention to the design phase of animal experiments,as well as to provide a reference for Chinese researchers in planning animal experiments.
