Reduction

It’s important to acknowledge & work to address the bioethical, reproducibility, and translational challenges of animal research. 

SEE HERE for tools and strategies.

Replacement

These systems have the potential to improve efficiency, efficacy, and safety. MPS includes tissue models such as spheroids, organoids, and organs-on-chips serving as a replacement/reduction method.

It is important to ensure that rodent colonies are free of adventitious infectious agents to support high quality, robust research & safety data. Recently, molecular-based diagnostics combined with environmental monitoring strategies have been adapted by many institutions to either supplement or replace more traditional health surveillance methods.
