4.
Which of the following definitions best matches your understanding of an "advanced in vitro model"? (Please select only one)
(Required.)
(Core/Minimal): Human-cell–based in vitro systems engineered to better recapitulate key aspects of tissue/organ structure and function than conventional 2D monocultures, enabling more physiologically relevant measurements.
(Function-first): In vitro systems with demonstrated, measurable functional performance aligned to a defined context of use (COU), providing improved human relevance over conventional cell culture.
(Systems-level): In vitro models that incorporate multiple cell types and/or microenvironmental features (e.g., ECM, flow, mechanics) to reproduce tissue-level function and enable more predictive testing.
(Broad NAM-aligned): Advanced in vitro platforms (including organoids, iPSC-derived tissues, and microphysiological systems) designed for human-relevant biology with standardized performance metrics and fit-for-purpose validation.
