What is the Future of Toxicological Testing in Nanotechnology?
The future of toxicological testing in nanotechnology lies in the development of advanced testing methods and predictive models. Some key advancements include:
- High-throughput screening: Techniques that allow rapid and large-scale testing of nanoparticles. - Computational toxicology: Using computational models and simulations to predict nanoparticle toxicity. - Alternative testing methods: Developing non-animal testing methods, such as organ-on-a-chip and 3D cell culture models, to reduce reliance on animal testing.
