What Are the Challenges in Reproducing Toxicological Studies?
Reproducing toxicological studies is often difficult due to variations in experimental conditions, differences in biological models, and inconsistencies in data reporting. For instance, slight changes in temperature, humidity, or even the method of chemical delivery can yield different results. Furthermore, the choice of biological model, whether in vitro or in vivo, also influences the outcome. The lack of standardized protocols exacerbates these issues, making it hard to compare studies directly.
