Balancing the welfare: the use of non-human primates in research.

Balancing the welfare: the use of non-human primates in research. Trends Genet. 2014 Nov;30(11):476-8 Authors: Zhou Q Abstract Until now, there have been no ideal alternatives to replace non-human primates (NHPs) in biomedical research, yet the debate on whether it is appropriate to sacrifice NHPs for research never stops. With recent advances in genomics and the appearance of new technologies, the time is right to return to the problem of finding solutions to balance the welfare of both humans and NHPs.
