Scientists at University of Michigan have developed a new method for the long-term preservation of human cortical organoids 🧠, enabling them to be more easily stored, biobanked, and shipped between institutions for collaborative projects. Check out the preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨 BREAKING 🚨: After decades of relying heavily on animal models, NIH is launching a landmark initiative to prioritize human-based research technologies and reduce animal use in agency-funded projects. A long-overdue paradigm shift in biomedical research is here. 👏 🧵

It was great to see NIH take a real step toward non-animal methods this week — but it’s just the beginning. Its announcement only covers part of our Research Modernization NOW plan. There’s still much more to do to shift the paradigm. Let's take a look at where we stand. 🧵
