Zui, a British researcher, has developed a new technology to detect drug resistance, which can directly use cultured human cells to detect drug safety without using active substances The basic operation of the new technology developed by researchers at University of Manchester, UK, is to test the properties of cultured human cells This method can also detect the carcinogenic compounds in drugs more effectively This method is very sensitive and can identify most carcinogens However, some chemicals known as "pre mutagens" are carcinogens only when they pass through the human liver, so animal tests are still needed to determine such substances.
