How are Epigenetic Markers Used in Toxicological Research?
Epigenetic markers are increasingly being utilized in toxicological research to identify biomarkers of exposure and effect. These markers can serve as early indicators of exposure to environmental toxicants before overt disease symptoms appear, allowing for earlier intervention. Researchers are also investigating the use of epigenetic markers in risk assessment and regulatory decision-making, providing a more comprehensive understanding of toxicant effects.
