How Are Biological Systems Used in Toxicological Testing?
Biological systems are integral to toxicological testing. In vitro and in vivo models help assess the toxicity of substances before they are used in humans. Common methods include:
Cell Culture: Provides a controlled environment to study cellular responses to toxins. Animal Models: Used to evaluate systemic toxicity, providing insights into potential human effects. Human Clinical Trials: Conducted to ensure safety and efficacy in humans, following preclinical studies.
