How Does Toxicology Affect Cell Differentiation?

Toxicology studies the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms. Toxic substances can disrupt cell differentiation by interfering with signaling pathways and gene expression. For example, exposure to endocrine disruptors can alter hormone levels, impairing normal differentiation processes, which can lead to developmental abnormalities or diseases such as cancer.
