Life sciences researchers need a host of tools to develop and test critical disease-treating drugs and therapies, from basic research to final product release. Primary cells, media, and reagents are ...

One January morning in 2021, Carol Rosen took a standard treatment for metastatic breast cancer. Three gruesome weeks later, she died in excruciating pain from the very drug meant to prolong her life.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a cell culture test to detect substances that are directly or indirectly harmful to embryos. Based on an existing test used for developing new drugs and ...

A study led by scientists at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health suggests that advanced algorithms working from large chemical databases can predict a new chemical's toxicity better than ...

The Environmental Protection Agency says it will aggressively reduce the use of animals in toxicity testing, with a goal of eliminating all routine safety tests on mammals by 2035. Chemicals such as ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Ellen Matloff covers genetic counseling, testing and digital health. Genetic testing once was offered only to people with rare ...

A vast number of chemicals are registered for production and use around the world. But only a portion have been thoroughly evaluated for their toxicity due to time, cost, ethical concerns and ...
