What are the Main Approaches in Experimental Toxicology?
Experimental toxicology employs various approaches, including in vitro (test tube or culture dish), in vivo (animal studies), and in silico (computer-based) methods. Each approach has its advantages and limitations. In vitro methods allow for the study of cellular processes in isolation, while in vivo studies provide insights into systemic effects in a whole organism. In silico methods use computational models to predict toxicity, reducing the need for extensive animal testing.
