How does 3D imaging contribute to alternative testing methods?
3D imaging plays a crucial role in the development of alternative in vitro testing methods, which are increasingly being used to reduce animal testing. For instance, 3D imaging can be used to assess the effects of toxins on 3D cultured cells or tissue models, providing insights that are more relevant to human physiology. This approach not only supports ethical research practices but also enhances the predictive value of toxicological assessments.
