Governments worldwide are racing to phase out animal testing as innovative alternatives like organs-on-chips prove they can predict human drug responses better than mice. The UK just slashed procedures from 4.1 million to 2.6 million in nine years.
Scientists at Texas A&M have created a "liver-on-a-chip" device that predicts drug side effects better than traditional animal testing. This breakthrough could help safe medications reach patients faster while reducing the need for animal experiments.
The United Arab Emirates just introduced groundbreaking technology that could end animal testing for new medicines forever. Tiny electronic chips that work like real human organs are now being used to test drugs faster, cheaper, and more accurately than ever before.
Scientists have found 117 ways to use roadkill for research instead of trapping live animals. The unexpected solution turns tragedy into ethical scientific progress.
Scientists created a 3D chip that mimics human tumors so accurately it could replace animal testing in cancer research. The breakthrough means faster, more precise treatments tailored for actual human biology.
Scientists at the University of Twente and Radboudumc are building a working human retina on a microchip, eliminating the need for animal testing while speeding up treatment for rare eye diseases. They've already successfully combined the first two retinal layers, something never achieved before.
A Virginia high school senior is first author on groundbreaking research using hydrogel "brain phantoms" to measure traumatic brain injury forces without animal testing. The lab's artificial rat brains, made from materials similar to Jell-O, could revolutionize how researchers study concussions and brain trauma.
Researchers developed an AI model that predicts how ALS affects the nervous system, potentially reducing the need for animal testing while speeding up treatment discoveries. The breakthrough combines computer simulations with real-world biology to guide more precise research.
