In vitro Toxicology

In vitro toxicology refers to testing the potential harmful effects of substances, like chemicals or drugs, using laboratory methods outside of a living organism, typically in controlled environments such as petri dishes or test tubes. This approach allows scientists to study how these substances interact with cells or tissues, helping to identify risks without the need for animal or human testing. It provides valuable data on toxicity, safety, and biological impact efficiently and ethically, aiding in the development of safer products and medicines before they are used in real-world settings.
