Unveiling Therapeutic Potential: Lab-to-Life Research
Bridging the Gap: The Crucial Role of Technology Preclinical Studies The journey of a new drug or medical device from laboratory concept to patient treatment is a long and rigorous one. Before any human trials can begin, scientists must meticulously assess its safety and efficacy through preclinical studies. These crucial experiments, conducted both in vitro (in the lab) and in vivo (using living organisms), lay the foundation for successful clinical development and ultimately contribute to improving human health. In Vitro: Testing on a Microscopic Scale: In vitro studies provide an initial platform for understanding how a new technology interacts with biological systems at a cellular level. Cell Culture Models: Scientists cultivate specific cells in controlled laboratory environments, exposing them to...
