However, growing ethical and scientific concerns, alongside recent National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initiatives, are accelerating a shift toward non-animal, human-relevant alternatives. Advanced cell- and tissue-based systems now offer powerful platforms to model human disease. This Gem outlines emerging tools and highlights their promise for virology research in a rapidly evolving regulatory and technological landscape.}, year = {2026}, journal = {Journal of Virology}, volume = {100}, pages = {e0132625}, month = {2026-04-21}, issn = {1098-5514}, doi = {10.1128/jvi.01326-25}, language = {eng}, }
