Wenxin Cao from our laboratory has received the ESTIV Award at 37th annual meeting of the Japanese Society for Alternatives to Animal Experiments
Title："Enhanced human beta-defensin 2 expression and secretion induced by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum OLL2712 achieved by an artificial mucus involved in vitro intestinal model"
"MPS and its integrative uses with numerical simulations toward prediction of systemic responses and diseases in humans"
Yasuyuki Sakai and Masaki Nishikawa, Keynote lecture
The Asian Federation of the Societies for Alternatives in Animal Experiments
(AFSAAE) was established in December 2024 at the Fourth Asian Congress
for Alternatives in Animal Experiments (4ACAAE) in New Delhi, India. The
establishment ceremony was successfully held on December 13. The AFSAAE
currently consists of the four founding member societies, the Korean
Society for Alternatives to Animal Experiments (KSAAE), the Japanese
Society for Alternatives to Animal Experiments (JSAAE), the Society for
Alternatives to Animal Experiments - India (SAAE-I) and the society of
Toxicological Alternatives and Translational Toxicology (TATT), Chinese
Society of Toxicology (CSOT). Prof. Sakai was appointed as the first
chair of the federation. We also proud of that Prof. Pang, one of our
graduate and now associate professor at Tsinghua Univ, was appointed as
the Board of Director members through the recommendation by TATT-CSOT.
