Evaluation of an in vitro-model for standardized testing of endocrine disrupting chemicals and their effects on female reproduction
TLDR
An in vitro-model for standardized testing of endocrine disrupting chemicals and their effects on female reproduction is evaluated and it is shown that these chemicals have an adverse effect on female fertility.
Thematic Review: Alternative Methods for Reproductive Toxicity testing - Revision and update of the sector Reproductive Toxicity testing of the publicly available "DataBase service on ALternative Methods to animal experimentation (DB-ALM)"
Cell culture and co-culture systems of granulosa and/or theca cells are exposed to test compounds in order to assess their potential harmful effects on ovarian functions. objective & application
The development of new concepts for assessing reproductive toxicity applicable to large scale toxicological programmes.
TLDR
Prevalences are relevant in order to be aware on the expected rate of false classification during the toxicological testing and to implement appropriate measures for their avoidance and will lead to more science based testing strategies integrating alternative methods without compromising the protection of consumers.
In vitro-Ishikawa cell test for assessing tissue-specific chemical effects on human endometrium.
Nordic symposium on "toxicology and pharmacology without animal experiments-Will it be possible in the next 10 years?"
TLDR
The Nordic Symposium on Toxicology and Pharmacology without Animal Experiments addressed more adopted/modified test guidelines or new test guidelines for new end-points, or hazard challenges, new in vitro 3D models, speeding up transfer of knowledge from research to regulation to understand AOP and towards IATA.
Contributions of the Scandinavian Countries to the Development of Non-Animal Alternatives in Toxicology
Critical evaluation of human endometrial explants as an ex vivo model system: a molecular approach.
TLDR
It is concluded that human endometrial explants are a complex model due to limited viability, difficult standardization and intrinsic alterations during culture.
Predicting the Safety of Medicines in Pregnancy: a Workshop Report.
A roadmap for the development of alternative (non-animal) methods for systemic toxicity testing.
TLDR
The present report proposes a roadmap for how to overcome the acknowledged scientific gaps for the full replacement of systemic toxicity testing using animals and hopes to advance regulatory science.
Successful Drug Development Despite Adverse Preclinical Findings Part 1: Processes to Address Issues and Most Important Findings
TLDR
This first part of the review discusses processes to address unexpected APFs and provides an overview over typical APFs in particular classes of drugs and relevant examples of APFs will be discussed in more detail.
