What Are the Challenges in Studying Drug Effects on Tissues?
Several challenges exist in the histological study of pharmacological interventions:
- Tissue Heterogeneity: Different tissues and even regions within the same tissue can respond variably to drugs, complicating the interpretation of histological findings. - Temporal Dynamics: The effects of drugs can vary over time, requiring longitudinal studies to fully understand their impact on tissue morphology. - Technical Limitations: Despite advances, some histological techniques may not be sensitive enough to detect subtle changes induced by drugs at low doses or early stages of treatment.
