With advancements in technology, several alternatives to animal testing are being explored:
In Vitro Studies: These involve using cell cultures to study disease mechanisms and drug effects in a controlled environment. Computer Models:In silico models and simulations can predict how diseases progress and how treatments will affect them. Organ-on-a-Chip: These are microfluidic devices that mimic the physiological responses of human tissues and organs. Human Volunteers: In some cases, research can be conducted ethically with human volunteers, especially in the later stages of clinical trials.
