Good news! Long overdue!
Where are the animal rights activists when you need them! Animal testing for research is a disturbing blind spot by these activists.
"... The centre, which will be funded with $87 million (£65 million) in contracts spread out over three years and housed at the NIH’s Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research in Maryland, aims to address reproducibility challenges through the use of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and various human cell lines. The hope is that the standardised organoid models created will be widely used by researchers and accepted by regulators, accelerating scientific discoveries and decisions. ..."
"... launching the Standardized Organoid Modeling (SOM) Center, a national resource that will be dedicated to using cutting-edge technologies to develop standardized organoid-based new approach methodologies (NAMs) that deliver robust, reproducible, and patient-centered research findings. ..."
NIH establishes nation's first dedicated organoid development center to reduce reliance on animal modeling (original news release) "The Standardized Organoid Modeling Center aims to produce standardized protocols for organoid research, addressing reproducibility challenges."
