Indeed much interdisciplinary research is being carried on today, and new fields have emerged, such as in-vitro toxicology. The three R's call for new scientific insights. Moreover, validation and acceptance strategies have to be adapted, a process of much ongoing interest and vital concern to the pharmaceutical and cosmeticAlternative toxicity testingCongressesAnimal experimentationCongressesTests de toxicitatthubExperimentació animalthubCongressosthubLlibres electrònicsthubAlternative toxicity testingAnimal experimentationTests de toxicitatExperimentació animal619Reinhardt Christoph A974294Swiss Institute for Alternatives to Animal Testing.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830431203321Alternatives to animal testing2218145UNINA
