The British government has unveiled a new £75 million plan to phase out animal testing in medicine and agriculture — with a clear roadmap to stop regulatory tests on skin and eye irritation by 2026, phase out mouse testing for Botox by 2027 and reduce dog/primates studies by 2030. It backs organ-on-a-chip, AI and 3D tissue methods to accelerate humane, modern science and safeguard both health and welfare.

UK sichert £75 m für ein schnelleres Ende von Tierversuchen

THE CHEMICAL ENGINEER

Die britische Regierung hat ein neues 75-Mio.-Pfund-Programm vorgestellt, um Tierversuche in Medizin und Landwirtschaft schrittweise abzuschaffen. Bis 2026 sollen Haut- und Augenreiztests entfallen, bis 2027 Botox-Versuche an Mäusen beendet werden und Studien an Hunden/Primaten bis 2030 stark reduziert werden. Stattdessen werden organ-on-a-chip, KI und 3D-Tissue-Modelle gefördert – ein entscheidender Schritt zu moderner, ethischer Forschung.

A recent Carbon Brief study shows China’s carbon dioxide emissions have remained unchanged or declined for 18 straight months, thanks in part to a surge in solar (+240 GW) and wind (+61 GW) capacity and a 5% drop in transport emissions.

Scientists at TU Wien have developed a non-toxic “deep-eutectic” solvent that separates blended fabrics — like cotton-polyester mixes — within minutes. Cotton stays intact and polyester is recovered almost fully, offering a near-complete recycling method for textiles that were once nearly impossible to reclaim.

Researchers at the University of Cologne have discovered a powerful antibody — 04_A06 — that neutralizes around 98.5 % of over 300 tested HIV strains. In lab experiments the antibody reduced viral load to undetectable levels — a major step toward broad-spectrum therapies for prevention and treatment worldwide.
