World Parkinson's Day: No cure despite countless animal experiments
Just in time for the World Parkinson's Day on 11 April 2019, this year's experimental animal of the year - the mouse in Parkinson's research - was published today. Extensive research by the Federal Association of People for Animal Rights Germany (PARG) revealed that, despite countless mouse manipulations, there is still no effective therapy against the disease. Therefore, the association calls for new methods using modern human-specific methods.
