Can AI, omics, and organoids replace animal models in cardiovascular research? In our EU_METAHEART position paper in @Nature Reviews Cardiology we outline why animal models remain essential in cardiovascular research complementing emerging technologies. Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In the era of AI, omics and organoids, animal models are still needed in cardiovascular research - Nature Reviews Cardiology

As artificial intelligence (AI), multiomics and human organoids reshape cardiovascular research, calls to replace animal models are accelerating. We argue that understanding complex, multiorgan cardio...
