How Can Histological Techniques Aid in Drug Development?
Histological techniques are integral to various stages of drug development: - Target Validation: Confirming that a potential target is involved in the disease process. - Drug Screening: Evaluating the efficacy of drug candidates in interacting with the target. - Toxicity Assessment: Observing potential side effects on normal tissues. - Mechanism of Action Studies: Understanding how a drug affects the target and the downstream effects.
