There are a range of alternatives to using animal models in medical testing.

These include in vitro methods such as human cell and tissue cultures, 3D organoids or “mini-organs” grown from stem cells as well as organs-on-chips that consist of microfluidic devices containing living human cells that mimic the biological responses of real organs.

There are also in silico methods such as computer modeling that predict biological effects, drug responses and toxicities, machine learning and more.

Then, there are human based approaches such as micro dosing, non-invasive imaging and direct study of donated human tissues and organs.

There are in chemico approaches as well which involve the study of chemical interactions with biomolecules like proteins or DNA without animals.

We have added a new category to our site called “Alternatives to Animal Models“. We will begin posting this kind of content and tag it with the new category so readers get a better idea of all the alternative options out there.

BioSystems Acro’s Cardiac-Related Solutions & Services

We are starting out by featuring a site by BioSystems Acro that focuses on “Cardiac-related Solutions & Services”.

This site invites researchers to “Explore our cardiac organoid  products and services and how we can assist with cardiac modeling, organoid identification, and drug screening / testing. We now offer ready-to-use cardiac organoids, cardiac organoid differentiation services, and testing services that includes cell activity assays and electrophysiological studies.” The site has information on ready-to-use cardiac organoids, cardiac cells, cardiac organoid services and case studies.
