Declining or Waning
- Traditional Animal Testing Models:
There is a noticeable decline in studies relying solely on traditional animal models for toxicity assessment, reflecting a broader shift towards alternative methods, such as in vitro and computational models. - Single Chemical Exposure Studies:
Research focusing on the toxicity of single chemicals in isolation has become less prominent, as there is a growing recognition of the need to study mixtures and real-world exposure scenarios. - Acute Toxicity Studies:
The publication of studies solely investigating acute toxicity has decreased, with more emphasis being placed on chronic effects and long-term health outcomes from exposure. - Cytotoxicity without Mechanistic Insight:
There are fewer publications focusing on cytotoxicity data alone without accompanying mechanistic investigations, indicating a trend towards more holistic approaches in toxicology research.
