Alternatives to animal testing are the future - it's time that journals, funders and scientists embrace them
Novel alternative methods (NAMs) provide ethical, human-relevant, and cost-effective alternatives to animal models but face resistance in publishing, funding, and regulatory acceptance.
Scientists grow mini human brains to power computers
Researchers are developing biocomputers by growing neuronal organoids attached to electrodes to create energy-efficient, living servers that mimic aspects of AI learning.
SPP1 is required for maintaining mesenchymal cell fate in pancreatic cancer - Nature
SPP1 plasma levels increase in late-stage pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and in KPCY mouse models, correlating with mesenchymal marker analyses and organoid-based tumor assays.
