Streamlining the path from lab to market with 3D bioprinting

Drug Target Review

These models can be used for more efficient and effective drug testing early in the development process, potentially reducing the need for animal testing and later-stage human trials that are both costly and time-consuming. They help scientists to better understand organ function and disease mechanisms.

FDA’s New Draft Guidance on 510(k) Implant Devices: What You Need to Know

FDA Law Blog: Biosimilars

Performance data should be customized to the indications for use, including the specific intended patient population (adult vs. pediatric), disease state, conditions of use, and the target anatomical location. We suggest consulting the draft guidance for a few representative examples of situations in which FDA may recommend animal testing.
