Animal Experimentation Facts

While cynomolgus macaques have historically contributed to some preclinical studies, the assertion that they are essential for advancing diabetes treatments is no longer tenable. Human-relevant New Approach Methodologies — including iPSC-derived islet organoids, organ-on-chip microphysiological systems, encapsulated stem-cell β-cell therapies now in human trials, and advanced in-silico PK/PD models — provide more predictive, ethically preferable, and regulatorily-accepted ro

New Approach/Non-animal methods (NAMs), such as organoids, organs-on-chips, computational modeling, and AI-driven toxicity prediction ,...

Across the globe, governments and regulatory agencies are moving away from animal experimentation and embracing human-relevant, non-animal science: Major regulators and institutions have moved from encouraging alternatives to actively enabling and in some areas mandating them.

Animal testing is often seen as the “gold standard” in pre-clinical research, but history proves it is far from perfect. Despite passing...

For more than a century, animal experiments have been touted as a cornerstone of biomedical and toxicological research. From drug safety...
