What Are the Challenges in Studying Disease Specificity in Toxicology?
One of the primary challenges is the complexity of interactions between multiple chemicals and biological systems. Many diseases are influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and chemical factors, making it difficult to pinpoint a single cause. Additionally, ethical concerns limit the extent of human testing, and animal models do not always accurately predict human responses. Advances in in vitro studies and computational toxicology are helping to overcome these challenges.
