What are some common methods used in toxicology research?
Toxicologists employ a variety of methods to study the effects of toxicants. In vivo studies involve testing on whole organisms, such as lab animals, to observe the biological effects of exposure. In vitro studies use isolated cells or tissues to examine cellular responses in a controlled environment. Computational models and simulations are also used to predict toxicological outcomes and assess risks. These methods provide a comprehensive understanding of how toxicants interact with biological systems.
