More Information
In toxicology, ensuring safety and accurately assessing the harmful effects of substances requires authenticated model organisms, standardized testing methodologies, and advanced cell models. These models enable researchers to investigate toxicity in various organs and tissues such as the kidneys and airways. The tools and techniques toxicologists use to investigate substances may include in vitro studies using cell cultures and molecular techniques or in vivo studies using animal models.
In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on the development and utilization of alternative methods, which aim to reduce the reliance on animal testing while maintaining the accuracy and reliability of toxicological assessments.
