Research involving animals: All studies involving animal subjects must be approved by an ethics committee before they are conducted and must comply with relevant regulations. Authors must include details on housing, husbandry, and pain management. When using animals, authors must comply with the '3 Rs' (replacement, reduction, refinement) or refer to established animal care guidelines and regulations. If national laws don't mandate ethical approval, authors must explain why and label it as “not required” in the ethical statement. Infinity endorses the ARRIVE guidelines for reporting live animal studies.
Research conducted on Cell Lines: Studies involving cell lines should specify the origin of each cell line. For human-derived cell lines, include references, laboratory details, and sources from commercial providers or established collections; written informed consent must be obtained. Submissions that lack information or do not meet these requirements may be rejected.
