Veterinary Bioscience Institute’s article, “Rodent Laparoscopy” is accepted by ALN® magazine

Aug. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- The Veterinary Bioscience Institute (VBI) is very proud to announce that another one of their articles addressing mouse laparoscopy and rat laparoscopy entitled “Introduction to Rodent Laparoscopy”, developed in collaboration with Marcel Perret-Gentil, DVM, MS from The Laboratory Animal Resources Center, The University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, was accepted for publication by the ALN® magazine ( http://www.alnmag.com/print/4708 ) in their April 2010 issue. Utilization of mouse laparoscopy and rat laparoscopy surgery promotes both animal welfare and scientific progress through the reduction, refinement, and replacement of larger animal models. This is continuing validation that members of the laboratory animal and biomedical community are accepting of progressive techniques for which VBI has been a staunch proponent.
