We can probably never get rid of animal testing entirely for clinical research, we’ll always need to validate simulations in animals before moving on to humans.
Getting rid of animal testing is the exact purpose of organ-on-a-chip research! This is actual bioengineered cultures, not simulations (not dissing on computational biochemistry - also extremely important)
If you can test without the full animal, then models (in this context, models = what you use for testing, be it cultures or animals) based on human induced pluropotent stem cells (ie cells taken from live, adult humans and forced to revert to a stem cell status) in an in vitro setting can actually be more relevant to human physiology than live animal models.
There are a lot of caveats (if it were easy, it would already be done), and there are barriers needed to be overcome for in vitro models to even come close to in vivo and ex vivo models. But a lot of people are investing in it, not (only) due to ethics but also due to lower model cost and better match of in vitro results with the actual effect on a live human body.
I can give papers when I get home, if you want.
Edit: I went on a deep dive on medical applications: suffice it to say, this is useless for behavioral experiments

6·1 year agoTrue, I guess. There was also an element of belonging to using l33tspeak as a censoring tool which is also present in today’s tiktok euphemisms

I’ve also seen people use peach for porn. Why are advertisers such puritans?

2·1 year agoReally? I haven’t really used Tor but I can’t find anything about that. What happened?
I had appendicitis and barely noticed. I just felt like I had a mild case of gas for 3 days. I was lucky that I was with my ex at the time and she got worried, otherwise I might be dead and would barely have cared.
But then the year after that I broke my back and also only cared to go to the doctor after one month, so maybe I’m not the best example
Not just a random episode, too - it’s one of the plot points in Who Shot Mr Burns

Curated Tumblr@sh.itjust.works•"What did students do before chatgpt?"English
5·1 year agoI think it’s an appropriate response to the title, like in a grammatical sense, it just makes me worry about what kind of students that commenter encountered on a day to day basis
That’s completely misguided, because people can see his code anyway (in his streams), and also because he will never finish or release his game
My input: I’ve never searched for papers in Scihub directly. I usually find them off Google scholar or something, and then put the paywalled URL or the DOI (an identifier you can usually find in the paywalled website) in Scihub to go to that paper. I don’t think search capabilities are in scihub’s scope.
That’d be part of why they’re single, I guess

121·1 year agoEvery Ralph you think about after you stop thinking about the previous Ralph is a new Ralph, completely independent from the previous Ralph event.
Is it genocide if you are also creating the Ralphs that you kill?
These are some amazing shots, thanks for sharing!
