Both as a tool for studying disease mechanisms and as a platform for testing novel therapeutics NAMs represent a paradigm shift in translational in-vitro models and offer improved reproducibility and human translatability relative to animal models and simpler cell-based systems. The increasing adoption of NAMs also aligns with FDA Modernization Act 3.0 and increased implementation of the 3Rs principle (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) in animal research.}, year = {2025}, journal = {Microscopy and Microanalysis}, volume = {31}, pages = {ozaf048.449}, month = {2025-07-01}, issn = {1431-9276}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1093/mam/ozaf048.449}, doi = {10.1093/mam/ozaf048.449}, }
