How is CRISPR-Cas9 Revolutionizing Toxicological Research?
CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology has revolutionized toxicological research by enabling precise manipulation of specific genes. This technique allows scientists to create targeted gene knockouts or modifications, facilitating the study of gene function and its role in mediating toxic effects. CRISPR-Cas9 is particularly useful for elucidating the molecular mechanisms of toxicity and for developing genetically modified models to study the effects of toxicants.
