There are all kinds of drugs that heal mice or prolong their lives and do whatnot—but do nothing at all for humans. Or worse, they are dangerous or even deadly for us. So again, this is not saying that these experiments are not critically important, unbelievably important knowledge has been gained through animal models. But when it comes to drugs and cures, everything can be different once a drug is used by humans. So if you hear news about some kind of amazing drug, make sure to check if the excitement is based on human trials or if it is still in an earlier stage, tested in animals.
