Contradictory results in animal atherosclerosis studies might partly explain limited translational efficacy, and also undermine the confidence of funding agencies, politicians, and the public in scientists and their research. A new guideline paper provides recommendations aimed at standardization of animal atherosclerosis studies to improve the reproducibility of this research.
