What Challenges Exist in Using Epigenetic Biomarkers in Toxicology?
While the potential of epigenetic biomarkers is vast, several challenges exist. One significant hurdle is the variability of epigenetic changes among individuals, influenced by factors such as age, diet, and lifestyle. Additionally, establishing a direct causal relationship between specific epigenetic changes and toxicant exposure can be complex. Another challenge is the need for standardized methods to accurately measure and interpret these biomarkers across different studies.
