Animal testing

Animal testing, also known as animal experimentation, animal research, and in vivo testing, is the use of non-human animals, such as model organisms, in experiments that seek to control the variables that affect the behavior or biological system under study. In vivo and animal testing are animal test conditions.

See In vivo and Animal testing

Anthrax toxin

Anthrax toxin is a three-protein exotoxin secreted by virulent strains of the bacterium, Bacillus anthracis—the causative agent of anthrax.

See In vivo and Anthrax toxin

Bacillus anthracis

Bacillus anthracis is a gram-positive and rod-shaped bacterium that causes anthrax, a deadly disease to livestock and, occasionally, to humans.

See In vivo and Bacillus anthracis

Biopsy

A biopsy is a medical test commonly performed by a surgeon, an interventional radiologist, or an interventional cardiologist.

See In vivo and Biopsy

Catabolism

Catabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy or used in other anabolic reactions.

See In vivo and Catabolism

Cell (biology)

The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life.

See In vivo and Cell (biology)

Cell culture

Cell culture or tissue culture is the process by which cells are grown under controlled conditions, generally outside of their natural environment.

See In vivo and Cell culture

Cell disruption

Cell disruption is a method or process for releasing biological molecules from inside a cell.

See In vivo and Cell disruption

Clinical trial

Clinical trials are prospective biomedical or behavioral research studies on human participants designed to answer specific questions about biomedical or behavioral interventions, including new treatments (such as novel vaccines, drugs, dietary choices, dietary supplements, and medical devices) and known interventions that warrant further study and comparison.

See In vivo and Clinical trial

Drug discovery

In the fields of medicine, biotechnology and pharmacology, drug discovery is the process by which new candidate medications are discovered.

See In vivo and Drug discovery

Ex vivo

Ex vivo (Latin: "out of the living") literally means that which takes place outside an organism. In vivo and Ex vivo are animal test conditions and Latin biological phrases.

See In vivo and Ex vivo

Experiment

An experiment is a procedure carried out to support or refute a hypothesis, or determine the efficacy or likelihood of something previously untried.

See In vivo and Experiment

Harry Smith (microbiologist)

Harry Smith (7 August 1921 – 10 December 2011) was a British microbiologist, and Professor of Microbiology, at the University of Birmingham.

See In vivo and Harry Smith (microbiologist)

In natura

(Latin for "in Nature") is a phrase to describe conditions present in a non-laboratory environment, to differentiate it from in vivo (experiments on live organisms in a lab) and ex vivo (experiments on cultivated cells isolated from multicellular organisms) conditions. In vivo and in natura are Latin biological phrases.

See In vivo and In natura

In ovo

In ovo is Latin for in the egg.

See In vivo and In ovo

In papyro

In papyro (literally, "in/on paper") is a cod Latin term for experiments or studies carried out only on paper, for example, epidemiological studies that do not involve clinical subjects, such as meta-analysis.

See In vivo and In papyro

In silico

In biology and other experimental sciences, an in silico experiment is one performed on a computer or via computer simulation software. In vivo and in silico are animal test conditions and Latin biological phrases.

See In vivo and In silico

In simulacra

In simulacra is a Latin phrase meaning "within likenesses." The phrase is used similarly to in vivo or ex vivo to denote the context of an experiment.

See In vivo and In simulacra

In situ

In situ (often not italicized in English) is a Latin phrase that translates literally to "on site" or "in position." It can mean "locally", "on site", "on the premises", or "in place" to describe where an event takes place and is used in many different contexts. In vivo and in situ are animal test conditions and Latin biological phrases.

See In vivo and In situ

In vino veritas

In vino veritas is a Latin phrase that means, suggesting a person under the influence of alcohol is more likely to speak their hidden thoughts and desires.

See In vivo and In vino veritas

In vitro

In vitro (meaning in glass, or in the glass) studies are performed with microorganisms, cells, or biological molecules outside their normal biological context. In vivo and in vitro are animal test conditions and Latin biological phrases.

See In vivo and In vitro

Italic type

In typography, italic type is a cursive font based on a stylised form of calligraphic handwriting.

See In vivo and Italic type

Latin

Latin (lingua Latina,, or Latinum) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages.

See In vivo and Latin

Lipinski's rule of five

Lipinski's rule of five, also known as Pfizer's rule of five or simply the rule of five (RO5), is a rule of thumb to evaluate druglikeness or determine if a chemical compound with a certain pharmacological or biological activity has chemical properties and physical properties that would likely make it an orally active drug in humans.

See In vivo and Lipinski's rule of five

Microbial toxin

Microbial toxins are toxins produced by micro-organisms, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, dinoflagellates, and viruses.

See In vivo and Microbial toxin

Microbiologist

A microbiologist (from Greek μῑκρος) is a scientist who studies microscopic life forms and processes.

See In vivo and Microbiologist

Microbiology

Microbiology is the scientific study of microorganisms, those being of unicellular (single-celled), multicellular (consisting of complex cells), or acellular (lacking cells).

See In vivo and Microbiology

Organism

An organism is defined in a medical dictionary as any living thing that functions as an individual.

See In vivo and Organism

Oxford University Press

Oxford University Press (OUP) is the publishing house of the University of Oxford.

See In vivo and Oxford University Press

Pathogenesis

In pathology, pathogenesis is the process by which a disease or disorder develops.

See In vivo and Pathogenesis

Pathogenic bacteria

Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that can cause disease.

See In vivo and Pathogenic bacteria

Petri dish

A Petri dish (alternatively known as a Petri plate or cell-culture dish) is a shallow transparent lidded dish that biologists use to hold growth medium in which cells can be cultured,R.

See In vivo and Petri dish

Preclinical imaging

Preclinical imaging is the visualization of living animals for research purposes, such as drug development.

See In vivo and Preclinical imaging

Test tube

A test tube, also known as a culture tube or sample tube, is a common piece of laboratory glassware consisting of a finger-like length of glass or clear plastic tubing, open at the top and closed at the bottom.

See In vivo and Test tube

Uterus

The uterus (from Latin uterus,: uteri) or womb is the organ in the reproductive system of most female mammals, including humans, that accommodates the embryonic and fetal development of one or more embryos until birth.

See In vivo and Uterus

Vivisection

Vivisection is surgery conducted for experimental purposes on a living organism, typically animals with a central nervous system, to view living internal structure.
