What are the Advantages of Using Adult Stem Cells?
Using adult stem cells in toxicological research offers several advantages:
1. Relevance: They provide a more accurate model of human tissue responses compared to animal models. 2. Ethical Considerations: The use of adult stem cells avoids the ethical concerns associated with embryonic stem cells. 3. Regenerative Studies: They allow for the examination of tissue regeneration and repair mechanisms after toxic injury.
