With the help of tissue culture, the chances of patients receiving ineffective or harmful medicines becomes negligible.
Explanation:
When a new drug is discovered, it has to go through various human and animal trials in order to test it for the following characteristics that are Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity, this is collectively known as ADMET.
The application of tissue cultures in order to examine the drugs inhibits the occurrence of presenting humans to the unknown harmful influences of the drugs prior to the drugs to be considered safe for application.
These changes can be caused by environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or can occur if an error is made as DNA copies itself during cell division. Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed to the next generation.
