Abstract: In 2004, the FDA estimated that 92 percent of drugs which pass preclinical tests, including mandatory animal tests, fail to proceed to the market (Harding 2004) – a situation that has not markedly improved over the last decade. Animal trials are not only controversial due to ethical considerations but also costly to perform, creating the demand for ethically responsible and economic research methods. Furthermore, animal trials inevitably include additional unquantified variables, such as animal health status, reproducible growth, diet, weight, and intrinsic genetic differences [1,2].
