In particular, I think we’re at the point now where the legacy concept of a ‘pre-clinical’ mouse model needs serious re-examination. Does this give us any extra useful information on efficacy that we can’t gain more accurately from co-ordinated human tissue and in vitro work? 🤷.

This holds promise for the whole spectrum from basic biology to drug efficacy and toxicology. For example, @emulateinc have assessed their liver-chip for toxicology using human clinical data:

For human oral cancer, we’ve focussed on aligning human tissue work and new in vitro models to form predictions from human tissue that can be tested in vitro, and vice versa. See @eLife paper @NC3Rs highlighted in their original tweet (thank you!), and:

When we have access to advanced human pathology and clinical data, and fantastic new in vitro models that are predictive of human disease, then we have to ask the question - who needs mice? 🐁 🧵.
