We are excited to see a trend emerging in which scientists are developing new gels and growth media to support advanced cell cultures that are entirely without animal components.
Scientific evidence continues to mount, proving that we can’t
experiment on animals and get accurate results, but until recently
researchers didn’t realize how all-encompassing that reality is.
The fact is, even many of the animal alternatives that are on the
cutting-edge of technology are unfortunately mired in animal derived
ingredients. Even when scientists prepare organoids or other
advanced cell cultures from human cells, they are often grown in
gels made from animal components.
It's no surprise that these animal byproducts affect the efficacy of
human cell and tissue cultures. Animal-derived ingredients lead to
cell cultures that do not accurately reflect the physiology of human
tissues and result in inconsistency and poor reproducibility between
batches.
That’s why we’re excited to see a trend emerging in which scientists
are developing new gels and growth media to support advanced cell
cultures that are entirely without animal components.
