Pharmaceutical firms employ histological techniques in several areas:
Preclinical Studies: Histology is essential in assessing the effects of drug candidates on tissues before human trials. It helps determine toxicity and identify potential side effects. Histopathology: The examination of tissues for disease-related changes is vital in understanding how drugs interact with biological systems. It aids in the identification of biomarkers for efficacy and safety. Quality Control: Ensuring the consistency and safety of pharmaceutical products involves histological analysis to detect any contamination or abnormal tissue reactions.
