Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) are four main processes that demonstrate how a drug behaves after being administered. Therefore, ADME is key in defining a compound’s ...

The miniature models could exponentially accelerate vaccine development, cancer treatment research, and improved health outcomes across a spectrum of diseases. The left image shows the immune organ-on ...

The connection between the human liver and the intestine is unique, and the “gut-liver axis” plays a vital role in regulating liver disease pathology. When homeostasis is disturbed, changes in dietary ...

An international research team headed by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences has developed an organoid model—a three-dimensional collection of cells that mimics features of human ...

The team observed the emergence of the three-dimensional embryo-like structures under a microscope in the lab. These started producing blood (seen here in red) after around two weeks of development - ...

Microphysiological systems and organ-on-chip technologies are increasingly used to model human tissues outside the body, offering alternatives to animal experiments and traditional cell cultures.
