What is the Relevance of In Vitro Models in Tissue Toxicology?
In vitro models, such as cell cultures and organoids, are increasingly used in tissue toxicology to study the effects of toxicants in a controlled environment. These models allow for detailed mechanistic studies and high-throughput screening of toxicants. They are particularly valuable for understanding specific cellular responses and for reducing the need for animal testing. However, in vitro models have limitations, such as the lack of complex tissue interactions found in living organisms.
