In vitro

specific alternative to animal testing work. The alternative Feder wrote about is the In-vitro test. He details the process of getting an In-vitro test, and how the companies are growing due to an increasing demand of this alternative. Feder’s main concern in this article was to expose the difference of cost between the animal testing and the In-vitro alternative. He mentions that the low cost of the In-vitro has been a trigger to push researchers to look for other alternatives.…

success fully studies in vitro propagation was dependent upon plant growth regulators, genotype and type of explants For example , the combination of BAP (0.2-6 mg/l) or BA(0-3mg/l) and NAA (0.1- 1 mg/l) were reported better for shoot Multiplication and controlling morphogenesis influencing factor (Song et al.,2010; Abdu et al., 2012). Yadav and Ahmad. ,(2013)and Derejeet al., (2014) reported that NAA (0.5-7m/g) alone is best alternative for vigorous of rooting. In vitro propagation…

Imagine you are incapacitated on a table and your eyes are forced open as chemicals are poured into them. Your heart pounds, your breathing is rapid, you can 't blink and your eyes tear up, and your eyes turn red, swell, discharge, ulcerate, or hemorrhages, then you are killed. The Draize eye test, a test where chemicals are poured into a rabbit’s eye to test for irritancy, is cruel and is not a reliable test for humans. A rabbit 's eye has several anatomical differences to a human 's eye so the…

Animal testing uses outdated and archaic testing procedures. In the article “Alternatives to the use of animals in research, testing and education” Jayshree Vencatesan, and advocate of Animal rights who works at Care Earth, describes how in the medical field of humane science there are three R’s every method of testing must follow. The three R’s include: replacement, refinement, and reduction. These must be used when determining alternative methods of testing. Vencatesan states that the most…

Phyllanthus niruri Extracts of Phyllanthus niruri have been studied for biological activities in various animal models and in vitro models and reported to possess significant antimicrobial, antiviral, hepato protective, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiplasmodial, antiurolithiatic and diuretic. The phytochemical studies were characterized and the presence of various compounds such as lignans, phyllanthin, hypophyllanthin, flavonoids, glycosinoids & tannins was mentioned (Narendra…

dreman_elargawy@yahoo.com Abstract Six common fungicides, Dithane M45, Kocide 2000, Ridomil Gold Plus, Score, Equation Pro and Kemazed were tested for controlling the draceana leaf spot fungi. All the tested fungicides significantly decreased the in vitro growth of the tested dracaena leaf spot fungi. Percentage of inhibition on colony diameter ranged between 49.64% with Dithane M45 to 82.18% with Score which was followed…

An easy solution to animal testing are the numerous alternatives that are already available: • Organs on a chip: This was created by Harvard’s Wyss Institute. The idea is to contain human cells grown in a high-tech system to imitate the structures and functions of the body systems and organs (“Alternatives to Animal Testing” Cruelty 1). The chips can be used to replace animal testing in areas of disease research and drug testing, it has also been shown to duplicate human anatomy, infections,…

Medical Animal Testing People have their own beliefs as to whether medical animal testing is beneficial or not. Animal testing is a sensitive subject for most people and they automatically disagree with it because of the inhumane way they treat animals. One problem is that animal testing in many people’s eyes is not ethically right. Scientists test on animals and inject them with the infection to try to find a cure for the disease. If the scientists inject two rats with the same disease and…

between humans and animals, it greatly affects the results of direct animal testing. If ever using the In-Vitro approach, the results are potentially as accurate as they can be, resulting in a less painful, yet more beneficial product. While animal testing may be considered life-saving in some circumstances, it is, then again, not nearly as accurate as of the other methods available. In-Vitro testing, which takes place in a Petri dish, is much more precise, as human cells are used in this…

chemicals than humans. Helen Martson head of Humane Research has written, “ There are far too unknown variables that cannot all be accounted for” (36). Animal testing is not the most reliable source. Many things in medicine could be different if in-vitro testing was used more often.Many researchers and your everyday people would argue that animal testing is ethical and reliable source. However, they are not looking at the bigger picture of how many animals arebeing put through suffering, stress,…
