The Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China launched new drug project "Key Technologies for New Drug Research and Development Based on Microfluidic Chips".
The Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China released the "Guidelines for Applications for Key Projects in the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Key R&D Program in 2021", emphasizing the construction of stem cell-based models for major intractable human diseases.
The Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) has officially recommended the use of organ-on-a-chip technologies for preclinical safety and efficacy evaluation in its guidelines for cell and gene therapies as well as stem cell therapies.
The US government announced the start of project on “human on chip”.
The project "Precision Mesoscopic Measurement of Human Organs-on-Chips" was approved as part of the first batch of key R&D initiatives for transformative technologies under the National Key Scientific Issues Program by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) amended the law to include in vitro models as an independent preclinical evaluation system.
FDA announced plan to phase out animal testing of monoclonal antibodies and other drugs.
In April 2025, the FDA clearly proposed for the first time that within 3-5 years, animal experiments would become an auxiliary evaluation method, new methods such as organoids would become the mainstream evaluation method, and the reform of ICH regulations would be promoted.
