iPSCs are used in toxicology research to model human tissues and organs, enabling the study of drug-induced toxicity and environmental toxicants. They provide a platform to assess the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and organ-specific toxicity of compounds. One of the key benefits is their ability to reflect individual genetic backgrounds, making them ideal for personalized toxicology studies. Researchers can generate iPSCs from individuals with particular genetic predispositions to study susceptibility to toxic substances.
