"However, while AI and other non-animal research methods—such as computational models, advanced cell cultures, and organ-on-chip technologies, represent exciting progress, it is important to stress that they complement rather than replace animal models."

There is no replacement (yet) for animal models in medical research The NIH is “reducing animal use in research.” But there is no replacement for animal models.

An excellent op-ed from @socdevbio.bsky.social president Carole LaBonne @labonnelab.bsky.social. Our lab uses both animal models and human organoids. We believe these to be complementary approaches, each with their respective strengths and limitations. www.statnews.com/2025/05/19/a...
