What Are the Applications of 3D Bioprinting in Toxicology?
3D bioprinting has a wide range of applications in toxicology, including:
1. Drug Testing: Bioprinted tissues can be used to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new drugs, providing early insights into potential toxic effects. 2. Cosmetic Testing: The technology offers an alternative to animal testing for evaluating the safety of cosmetic products. 3. Environmental Toxicology: 3D bioprinted tissues can help assess the impact of environmental toxins on human health. 4. Disease Modeling: Researchers can create disease-specific tissue models to study the toxicological effects of various compounds on diseased tissues.
