Silk sponge 3D culture offers animal testing alternative for PET radiotracers

Historically, animal testing has been something of a necessary evil in drug discovery, but a growing number of efforts are underway to do without them. The latest case in point is a newly patented system that integrates 3D cell cultures. These cultures grow human cells on supportive silk scaffolds. This setup better mimics real body… The post Replacing animal models? Silk sponge 3D cell culture system shows high potential for cancer diagnostics …
