Vertical climbing in mice: a translationally relevant measure of pain-related impact on natural behaviour

This study demonstrates that vertical climbing in mice is a reliable and translationally relevant measure of pain-related functional impairment across multiple pain models.

Evaluating home-cage-activity metrics for detecting postprocedural pain in a plantar incision mouse model

This study evaluates home-cage activity metrics for detecting postprocedural pain in a plantar incision mouse model and finds they cannot reliably distinguish pain-related changes.

Refining the adjuvant-induced rat model of monoarthritis by optimizing the induction volume and injection site

This study refines the adjuvant-induced rat monoarthritis model by optimizing injection volume and site, finding that lower volumes reduce inflammation spread without compromising model validity.

A sleep disturbance method by novel objects in the home cage to minimize stress

This paper introduces a seven-day sleep disturbance protocol using novel objects to minimize stress in mice and demonstrates its effectiveness and reduced stress compared to existing methods.
