What Techniques Are Used in Cell Biology Research in Toxicology?
Various techniques are employed to study the effects of toxicants on cells. Fluorescence microscopy is used to visualize changes in cell structure and function. Flow cytometry is instrumental in analyzing cell populations and detecting apoptotic cells. High-throughput screening assays allow for rapid testing of multiple compounds, while omics technologies like genomics and proteomics provide comprehensive data on cellular responses to toxicants.
