In most cases, experiments performed in animal models represent a valuable tool to understand human diseases. However, to a greater or lesser extent, there can be some degree of subjectivity on how scientists analyze the obtained data. We have to be especially careful to look at it as fairly as possible. Otherwise, we might see whatever each of us wants to see. In February 2013, Junhee Seok showed that mouse models poorly mimic human wound healing mechanisms. In June 2014, Keizo Takao and Tsuyoshi Miyakawa used the same data, but with a different statistical analysis, to conclude the opposite. This is their story.
