Cell migration is crucial in toxicology because it plays a vital role in the body's response to injuries and infection. Abnormal migration can lead to pathologies such as cancer metastasis or impaired tissue repair. Understanding how toxicants affect cell migration helps in assessing the potential health risks and in the development of therapeutic strategies to mitigate adverse effects. For instance, the study of environmental pollutants on cell migration can provide insights into how these substances contribute to diseases.
