Can AI, omics, and organoids replace animal models in cardiovascular research? In our @EU_METAHEART position paper in @NatRevCardiol we outline why animal models remain essential in cardiovascular research complementing emerging technologies. Read more: nature.com/articles/s41569-0…

In the era of AI, omics and organoids, animal models are still needed in cardiovascular research
