What Are the Challenges in Studying Cytokines in Toxicology?
Studying cytokines in the context of toxicology presents several challenges. The complex and dynamic nature of cytokine networks can make it difficult to pinpoint specific cause-and-effect relationships between toxin exposure and cytokine responses. Additionally, individual variability in cytokine production and response can complicate the interpretation of data. Advances in omics technologies and computational modeling are helping to address some of these challenges by providing more comprehensive and integrative insights.
