What are the Challenges in Identifying Non-Specific Toxic Effects?
Identifying non-specific toxic effects involves understanding the complex interactions between a toxicant and biological systems. One challenge is the heterogeneity of responses, where different individuals or cell types may exhibit varying levels of sensitivity to the same toxicant. Additionally, the presence of multiple pathways affected by a non-specific toxicant can obscure the identification of specific biomarkers or endpoints for toxicity.
