Hypothesis
How can new methodologies improve the study of aging?
Conclusion
The use of human in vitro models for aging research is expanding and presents both challenges and opportunities.
Supporting Evidence
- The FDA Modernization Act 2.0 promotes the use of human in vitro models for drug safety and efficacy.
- Interdisciplinary collaborations are essential for addressing challenges in aging research.
- The session aims to educate various stakeholders about the applications of human in vitro NAMs.
Takeaway
Scientists are finding new ways to study aging using human cells instead of animals, which can help us understand how to keep people healthy as they get older.
Methodology
The workshop focuses on 3-D in vitro human models, including tissue chips and organoids, to study aging.
Limitations
Challenges in adopting human in vitro models for aging research.
Participant Demographics
Basic scientists, physician-scientists, clinicians, and industry representatives.
