How Does Histology Contribute to Regulatory Approval?
Regulatory bodies such as the FDA rely on histological data to approve new drugs. Histology contributes by:
Safety Profiles: Providing detailed safety profiles that document any adverse tissue reactions. Mechanism of Action: Demonstrating how a drug works at the cellular level, which is crucial for understanding its potential impacts. Long-term Effects: Monitoring long-term tissue changes to ensure the drug does not cause harmful effects over time.
