Why is Annexin V Staining Important in Toxicology?
In toxicology, understanding how toxins or drugs induce cellular damage and death is essential. Annexin V staining allows researchers to assess the cytotoxic effects of substances by identifying apoptotic cells. This is crucial for drug development, environmental toxicology, and safety evaluations of chemicals. By measuring apoptosis, toxicologists can evaluate the potential risks associated with exposure to various substances.
