New publication summarises the outcome of a workshop organised by the European Partnership of Alternatives to Animal Testing (EPAA) on the use of stem cell-derived in vitro test systems in toxicology.
JRC scientists, in close collaboration with academic, industrial and international organisations, came together at an EPAA workshop in 2015 to discuss the state-of-the-art in the use of stem cells-derived systems in toxicology, with a focus on industrial applications to ensure human safety and to fulfil regulatory requirements. As a result, a study has been recently published outlining the main outcomes of the workshop in light of supporting the use of stem cells and stem cell-derived systems.
