Advances in organ and computer models are raising the prospect that some animal experiments could be eliminated. But there are still huge hurdles to overcome. Read More Here: https://postly.click/5vU
New focused efforts, building upon mouse model research, now with organoids, confirm a nerve-repair treatment can trigger the healing response in human spinal tissue. Source: https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-grew-mini-human-spinal-cords-then-made-them-repair-after-injury
Digital twin of retinal pigment epithelial cells to track how cell polarity forms—and how failure may drive vision loss in age-related macular degeneration. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-scientists-develop-digital-twin-eye-cells-understand-treat-age-related-macular-degeneration
In vivo & in silico: Compounds linked to traditional medicine reduced anxiety-, depression-, and pain-related behaviors in mice. Computer modeling suggested key compounds and targets, while mouse studies showed how those predictions played out biologically: https://doi.org/10.100
Rising testing costs have created a bottleneck where demand for efficiency conflicts with need for accuracy, where a balance of ideas is merging: https://postly.click/moT
