Several in vitro methods are utilized in toxicology, including:
Cytotoxicity assays - These assess the toxic effects of substances on cell health and viability. Genotoxicity assays - These evaluate the potential of a substance to cause genetic damage. Receptor binding assays - These study the interaction of chemicals with cellular receptors. Metabolic assays - These investigate the effects of substances on cellular metabolism. Pathway-focused assays - These examine the impact on specific cellular pathways involved in toxicity.
