What Are the Challenges in Studying Cytokine Networks in Toxicology?
Studying cytokine networks in toxicology poses several challenges. The complexity of cytokine interactions and the influence of individual genetic variations make it difficult to predict responses to toxicants. Additionally, the presence of multiple cytokines with overlapping functions can complicate the interpretation of data. Advances in proteomics and bioinformatics are aiding researchers in overcoming these challenges by providing more detailed insights into cytokine dynamics.
