Preclinical research depends on speed, consistency, and biological accuracy. When tissue samples lose viability or experience transport related degradation, your research outcomes can become less reliable. That’s why on site laboratory tissue testing has become the gold standard.
Animal Biotech Industries, Inc. (ABI) has supported biomedical research and education since 1990. With the launch of its new operational state-of-the-art corporate headquarters and laboratory, the company has strengthened what research partners rely on most: precise animal biotech tissue delivery, controlled biological tissue shipping, and uncompromising biological sample integrity.
Increasingly, hands-on surgical training facilities have begun using porcine organs and other swine tissue instead of human remains. While this may seem counterintuitive, there are very good reasons for it.
Porcine tissue research continues to expand in numerous directions. One of the most interesting is undoubtedly its potential to improve vascular tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research.
Finding the best alternatives to human tissue has become essential in modern vision science research. As vision impairment continues to rise globally, scientists are searching for reliable, ethical, and scalable ways to study the eye without relying solely on human donor tissue.
American Biotech Industries is one of America’s leading providers of ethically harvested swine tissue for medical research and education – and we maintain that high standard thanks to our amazing team! The workforce at ABI isn’t here because it’s just a job. They work with us because they understand how much good can be done through animal science operations.
These are exciting times for swine research and its possibilities for translational biomedical research. Every year, major breakthroughs involving pigs are announced, such as a recent “OrganEx” study out of Yale, aimed at improving the long-term viability of donor organs.
At Animal Biotech Industries, we’re always excited to hear about new applications of porcine tissues in human medicine – such as a recent study published in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, Decellularization and Characterization of Porcine Pleura as Bioscaffolds in Tissue Engineering.
One of the long-time dreams of medical science is to help people naturally regenerate organs, or even limbs – and thanks to porcine tissues, we may be one small step closer to that goal!
For proxy studies into the immune system, swine are proving to be one of the most reliable sources of data. Their immune system is quite similar to human immune systems in many ways, allowing for a wide range of useful research that continues to help save lives!
Porcine hearts are helping to save lives! One of the most exciting areas of cardiac research focuses on the use of swine hearts to research, or
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, an essential ‘building block’ that holds our bodies together. Collagen is found in nearly all major tissues and organs in the body and is particularly important for its role in making up connective tissues such as skin, bones, muscles, and cartilage.
