What is the Future of Animal Models in Toxicology?
The future of animal models in toxicology is evolving, with advancements in genetic engineering and CRISPR technology offering more precise models that mimic human disease states. Furthermore, there is a growing emphasis on integrating animal data with computational toxicology and in vitro methods to improve predictive accuracy and reduce reliance on animal testing. As technology progresses, the role of animal models may shift, but their importance in the foundational aspects of toxicological research is likely to remain significant.
