Is it true that researchers in 2026 grew human brain organoids that model Alzheimer's disease without the use of animal testing?

Unclear. Several sources confirm that human brain organoids and other human cell models are used to study Alzheimer's disease and are considered superior to animal models, but none reports a 2026 achievement of growing such organoids without animal testing.
