Expanding access to human lung slices to reduce animal testing

A new paper coauthored by PETA Science Consortium International e.V., the Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS), and the University of Minnesota is poised to revolutionize the field of inhalation research and toxicity testing. The study was established by the Science Consortium to expand access to human-relevant research tools and, by so doing, reduce the number of animals used in inhalation testing—a field previously hampered by the scarcity of donated human lungs.
