What are the Methods to Assess Epidermal Penetration of Toxins?
Assessing epidermal penetration involves various in vitro and in vivo methods. In vitro methods include using human or animal skin models in diffusion cells, which allow researchers to measure the rate and extent of penetration. In vivo studies involve applying substances to the skin of living organisms and monitoring absorption and systemic effects. Advances in imaging technologies and molecular analysis have enhanced our understanding of epidermal penetration dynamics.
