Could a new open-source, molecular model for mapping brain metabolism boost research to understand & prevent neurogenerative diseases like dementia? Dr Polina Shichkova of Biognosys, Prof Henry Markram from EPFL Blue Brain Project - A Swiss Brain Initiative at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL, Dr Daniel Keller from the Open Brain Institute, and Dr Jay S Coggan from Neurolinx Research Institute will discuss their Frontiers in Science article at this #FrontiersForum webinar ➡️ fro.ntiers.in/gA6w  They are joined by expert panel members Prof Mark Mattson from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Prof Pierre Magistretti from KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) to explore how the model could help scientists advance research into interventions to promote healthy brain aging and for an audience Q&A.

Roadmap to Reduce Animal Testing: The EU Talks, the US Acts On April 10, the FDA launched a detailed, ambitious strategy to reduce and eventually eliminate animal testing in drug development. It builds on scientifically validated NAMs (e.g., organ-on-chip, in silico models, AI) and offers clear milestones, interagency collaboration, and regulatory alignment. In contrast, the EU—despite strong public support and commendable ethical ambitions—continues with a slow, consultative process, with no final roadmap expected before 2026. Its fragmented regulatory structure and internal inconsistencies risk undermining Europe’s global leadership in ethical science. 🧪🐁 What’s needed? Coordinated governance, urgent policy action, transatlantic dialogue, and inclusive capacity-building—especially with the Global South. Read how transformative governance and policy alignment can ensure ethical, effective science keeps pace with innovation: https://lnkd.in/e7shTQqq #PolicyLabs #EthicsInScience

What does it take to make data truly usable, not just technically FAIR, but ready for science?

This year's 19 Frontiers Planet Prize National Champions around the world exemplify the power of science to transcend borders and drive transformative solutions that keep humanity within the safe and just operating space of our planet. 🌏 This global collaboration underscores our shared commitment: a sustainable future is within reach when we unite across borders, disciplines, and perspectives. 🔗 Learn more about these inspiring researchers and their groundbreaking work: https://lnkd.in/e8zCmdpu #OpenScienceChampions #PlanetaryBoundaries #PlanetaryHealth #EarthSystemScience

At the recent Times Higher Education Events Asia Universities Summit in Macao, Stephan Kuster, Director of External Affairs at Frontiers, joined a panel discussion on the evolving landscape of academic publishing. A new article from Times Higher Education highlights key points from the discussion, including Stephan’s perspective on the increasing volume of global research output and the growing role of artificial intelligence in safeguarding research integrity. During the panel, Stephan noted: “A lot of the misconduct is not detectable by human eyes. It’s not going to be detected in peer review or by research integrity experts in your editorial office. You need technology to detect this, and that means AI.” Read the full article here: https://fro.ntiers.in/DK7y
