Is Photobleaching Always Detrimental in Toxicology?
While photobleaching is generally considered undesirable, there are contexts where it can be useful. For instance, in fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments, intentional photobleaching is used to study the dynamics of molecular diffusion and interaction in live cells. In such cases, photobleaching is a tool rather than a hindrance, providing valuable insight into the behavior of molecules in biological systems.
