What Types of Toxicological Assessments Can Be Conducted?
Several types of toxicological assessments can be conducted using adult stem cells, including:
1. Cytotoxicity Assays: Determining the viability of cells after exposure to toxic agents. 2. Genotoxicity Testing: Assessing DNA damage and mutations induced by various substances. 3. Oxidative Stress Assays: Measuring the production of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant responses. 4. Differentiation Studies: Observing how toxins affect the ability of stem cells to differentiate into specific cell types.
