What Are Some Methods to Study Cell Migration in Toxicology?
Several experimental techniques are employed to study cell migration in the context of toxicology. These include in vitro assays such as wound healing assays, transwell migration assays, and live-cell imaging. These methods allow researchers to observe the movement of cells under the influence of toxic agents in controlled environments. Additionally, advanced molecular techniques such as gene editing and proteomics are used to understand the underlying mechanisms at a genetic and protein level.
