What are the Ethical Guidelines for Using Animals in Histological Research?
Several ethical guidelines govern the use of animals in histological research. These include the 3Rs principle (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) which aims to minimize animal use and suffering. Researchers are also required to obtain approval from an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) or equivalent body before conducting experiments. These committees review the proposed research to ensure humane treatment of animals.
