What are the Applications of In Vitro and In Silico Models?
In vitro and in silico models are critical for reducing reliance on animal testing and improving the efficiency of toxicological assessments. In vitro models involve the use of cultured cells or tissues to study the effects of toxicants, while in silico models use computer simulations to predict toxicological outcomes based on chemical structure and known biological interactions. These models provide valuable data for risk assessment and regulatory decision-making.
