What Role Does Histology Play in Preclinical Studies?
In preclinical studies, histology is used to examine the effects of new drugs on animal tissues. These studies are critical for:
Determining the toxicology and safety profile of a drug. Understanding the mechanism of action of the drug at a cellular level. Identifying potential biomarkers for efficacy and safety monitoring in clinical trials.
The EMA reviews these histological findings to decide if a drug can proceed to clinical trials.
