Alas for the rats, most research on them does translate to humans, since that appears to be the research model these days: hypothesis, test tube, rat phase, then if the research shows promise, clinical trials on humans. If there's no money to continue to clinical trial, the research stops and any possible benefit to humans is not realized. Herceptin and many of the drugs we’re taking had their rat/mouse phase. And after six months on herceptin whenever I see a mouse go by, I think there with the grace of God go I.
