European Parliament votes to end animal testing in favor of using human models
In a major win for both animal rights and organ-on-a-chip technology, the EU has voted in favor of transitioning away from animal testing. Check out this article from Humane Society International.
Drug discovery evolves: Jump-starting the transition from animal models to human preclinical models
The limitations of animal and in vitro studies are beginning to change with the advent of organ-on-a-chip technologies. Check out this article about AIM Biotech on drugdiscoverytrends.com.
The AIM Biotech product family is getting multiplied
AIM’s 3D cell culture technology has always been about empowering preclinical research with better data and more predictive, humanized models. Powered by technology developed in the research labs of Dr. Roger Kamm at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the...
Building a functional human vascular disease model using AIM Biotech 3D cell culture technology
Understanding the interactions between endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells is critical for the study of vascular disease. Yet, there are few existing models which can simply and reliably recapitulate the cellular crosstalk in human microvascular...
