In your view, which specific research areas, biological questions or animal models should be prioritised for the development or adoption of alternative methods? (Please be as specific as possible, e.g. disease subtype (including animal diseases), mechanistic understanding, organ system, species, model type etc.)

Why should this area be prioritised? (E.g. area where high number of animals are currently used, poor translational relevance, severity of procedures, species used, current knowledge gaps, unmet clinical need (human and/or animal), potential for economic and social impact, etc.)
