What are the Challenges in Implementing Alternatives?
Despite the advancements, several challenges remain in the widespread adoption of alternative methods:
Validation and Standardization: There is a need for rigorous validation of alternative methods to ensure their reliability and reproducibility across different laboratories and conditions.
Regulatory Acceptance: Regulatory agencies need to be convinced of the efficacy and safety of alternative methods, which requires substantial scientific evidence and consensus.
Technological Limitations: While technologies like organs-on-chips are promising, they are still in developmental stages and can be expensive and technically demanding.
