How is In Vivo Imaging Applied in Toxicology Research?
In vivo imaging is applied in various areas of toxicology research:
- Drug Development: It is used to assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of new drugs, ensuring their safety and efficacy before clinical trials.
- Environmental Toxicology: Researchers use it to study the impact of environmental pollutants on wildlife and human health.
- Nanotoxicology: In vivo imaging helps evaluate the distribution and potential toxicity of nanoparticles, which are increasingly used in medicine and industry.
- Cancer Research: It aids in understanding the effects of carcinogens and the development of cancer treatments.
