“…Due to their application to human studies, nuclear imaging assessments can provide relevant clinical information at an early stage during drug development, assist in the generation of data, which can be translated from preclinical research to clinical development, and potentially provide surrogate endpoints in clinical trials. Applying a non-invasive longitudinal scan approach in pre-clinical pharmacological research may also contribute to a reduction in the use of experimental animals (1)(2)(3).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
