Researchers seek to develop new cell culture technique to replace animal testing While many studies take place in a petri glass in toxicology research, for some processes there is still a need for animal components such as serum or liver cell tissue. A team of researchers headed by Goethe University now seeks to develop a new cell culture technique to replace the use of animal components. Their project won the CRACK IT innovation challenge by NC3Rs, a British organization that works to reduce reliance on animal models in research. The challenge is sponsored by AstraZeneca and Unilever. Studies using cell cultures are necessary in toxicology research because they make it possible to test whether new substances exhibit undesirable effects. In these studies, the serum of unborn calves (Foetal Calf Serum, FCS) is often used as animal component in the cell cultures. Other
