What Is the Role of In Vitro and Computational Methods?
In vitro and computational methods are increasingly used to complement human and animal studies. In vitro methods involve studying the effects of toxins on cell cultures, providing insights into cellular responses. Computational models, such as Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models, predict the toxicity of chemicals based on their molecular structure. These methods help reduce the need for animal testing and improve the efficiency of toxicological assessments.
