Drug discovery is a multi-faceted process. The more information researchers have about a potential drug and how it interacts both on and off-target, the more likely it is to successfully reach clinical therapeutic use. Cytotoxicity testing is an essential part of the drug discovery process, and human primary cells represent an effective tool to carry out various toxicity tests.
