How are MAPK pathways studied in toxicology research?
Toxicologists use a variety of experimental approaches to study MAPK pathways, including cell culture models, animal studies, and biochemical assays. These methods help elucidate how toxins affect MAPK signaling and the downstream cellular responses. Advanced techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing and RNA sequencing are also employed to dissect the specific roles of MAPK components in toxicological contexts.
