Evaluating Caco-2 cell’s gold-standard status in absorption, permeability and bioavailability Studies: Are Their Limitations Justified?
Caco-2 cells have long been heralded as the gold standard for studying intestinal absorption and permeability. However, as with any model system, Caco-2 cells have their own set of limitations. This raises important questions: Do their limitations undermine their gold-standard status? Is it time to improve estimations with more physiologically relevant approaches? What new approaches are available, and most importantly, do their benefits sufficiently outweigh the effort required to adopt a new approach?

Liver-on-chip model and application in predictive genotoxicity and mutagenicity of drugs
Kopp et al., 2024. Current pre-clinical drug safety assessments lack a single, comprehensive test system for genotoxicity hazards identification. This study, aimed to develop an in vitro model to addresses this gap, looks at Organ-on-a-chip (OOC) technology as a solution. OOC present robust human metabolic activity and has the potential to assess all required endpoints for genotoxicity hazards identification, ultimately streamlining the process and eliminating the need for animal testing. This proof-of-concept experiment demonstrates the potential of PhysioMimix® Liver-on-a-chip model as a promising tool for in vitro genotoxicity hazards identification, paving the way for a more streamlined and animal-free pre-clinical drug safety assessment process.
