New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), including organoids, organs-on-a-chip, microphysiological systems, and advanced computational modeling, are increasingly gaining attention in toxicology. Designed to reduce reliance on animal testing and improve the human relevance of laboratory studies, NAMs promise a faster, cost-effective way to study chemical toxicity. However, recent analyses by Hartmut Jaeschke and Anup Ramachandran in Toxicological…
A groundbreaking study from the University of Cambridge has identified 168 widely used chemicals that can harm beneficial gut bacteria, microbes essential for digestion, immunity, and long-term health. The findings, published in Nature Microbiology, raise fresh concerns about how everyday exposure to pesticides and industrial pollutants may disrupt the human microbiome. Large-Scale Screening Shows Hidden…
