Autorizzazione del Tribunale di Napoli, n. 45 del 12 ottobre 2016. Anno 3 - N. 1. Direttore responsabile: Dott. Fausto Passariello Vasculab Journal of Theoretical and Applied Vascular Research (page 3) - JTAVR 2018;3(1) Editorial Lines Non-animal experiments Many scientific journals deal with animal experiments, but just a few of them face the hard problem of animal replacing or sacrifice/suffer reducing or minimizing, together with the related ethical and legal topics. Since the 1st issue, the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Vascular Research (JTAVR) hosted papers devoted to the methodology for non-animal experiments. JTAVR is open to the discussion about the controversies inside the community of biomedical researchers, i.e. between people who use animals as an unavoidable experimental tool and others which on the contrary point to different research methods. However, a-priori positions pro or contra total animal replacement in biomedical research do not correspond at all to reality, because the solution is anchored to the ground, it is context dependent and is hidden behind a detailed study of the experiments, aimed to provide a reliable response. An answer which must not be black or white and must consider instead any involved methodological detail. In addition, there is the strong hope that many actions which were never done will be successful instead in the next future. For instance, consider the unexpected new frontier which in the last years turned up in the field of the organ-on-a-chip technology. Maybe, not so far in the future, this contra opposition will be seen just as a nonsense. History and Philosophy of Science Working Basic Sciences, Biology and Medicine The Journal of Theoretical and Applied Vascular Research (JTAVR) aims at gathering contributes to vascular research, coming from biology, medicine, surgery and basic sciences like physics, fluid dynamics and bioengineering as well as biochemistry and genetics. A special attention is given to the cultural aspects behind medical daily work, like models, epistemology, philosophy and history. This inter-disciplinary approach uses a wider eye/chakra, placing side by side topics which generally could never go together in medical journals, with the hope that it will succeed in producing new interesting fruits in research.

The Founders are convinced that without a thorough understand of the aetiology, pathophysiology and natural history of the disease, as well as a knowledge of medical, surgical and interventional technologies, care for the patient with vascular disease will be less than optimal.
