Drug discovery is an expensive affair that involves millions
of dollars. Despite intensified researches, only one out of 10,000 drugs enters
the market after successfully completing series of regulatory measures.
The main reasons for the low rate of success in the drug
discovery include our inability produce the human tissue for research. Test models like flat surface cell-culture, virtual computational methods and small animals are unable to replace the human culture. Recent developments and advancements in the drug research in the form
of Organoid culture is offering new hopes for the drug discovery as there is
scope for using artificial human tissue models in the place of animal models.
There are proposals to create human Organoid models for in vitro testing, which
are expected to add significance to the drug research.
