A study led by scientists at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health suggests that advanced algorithms working from large chemical databases can predict a new chemical's toxicity better than ...

Life sciences researchers need a host of tools to develop and test critical disease-treating drugs and therapies, from basic research to final product release. Primary cells, media, and reagents are ...

Researchers have developed a cell culture test to detect substances that are directly or indirectly harmful to embryos. Based on an existing test used for developing new drugs and chemicals, the ...

The Environmental Protection Agency says it will aggressively reduce the use of animals in toxicity testing, with a goal of eliminating all routine safety tests on mammals by 2035. Chemicals such as ...

Three federal agencies are joining forces in an effort to advance toxicity testing to the next level, with the hope of eventually shifting from animal experimentation to high-throughput in vitro ...

Advanced algorithms working from large chemical databases can predict a new chemical's toxicity better than standard animal tests, suggests a study led by scientists at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School ...

Researchers programmed a computer to compare structures and toxic effects of different chemicals, making it possible to then predict the toxicity of new chemicals based on their structural similarity ...

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, are part of an ambitious plan at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, to eliminate animal testing by 2035. Their contribution: ...

During the preclinical testing process of developing a compound to medicine, the compound in question must go through phases of testing. First, a potential target to treat a disease needs to be ...
