Researchers employ various methods to study these interactions:
In vitro Studies: These are conducted in a controlled environment outside a living organism, such as in petri dishes or test tubes, allowing scientists to understand the basic interaction mechanisms. In vivo Studies: These involve studying interactions within a living organism, which provides more realistic data on how chemicals interact in complex biological systems. Computational Modeling: Advanced computational models are used to predict interactions based on chemical structure and known biological pathways, facilitating the assessment of potential risks without extensive laboratory testing.
