High-content imaging (HCI) provides quantitative and information-rich measurements of chemical effects on human in vitro cell models. Identification of discriminative phenotypic endpoints from cellular features obtained from HCI is required for accurate assessments of potential chemical hazards.
ReadHuman lungs are susceptible to the toxicity induced by soluble xenobiotics. However, the direct cellular effects of many pulmonotoxic chemicals are not always clear, and thus, a general in vitro assay for testing pulmonotoxicity applicable to a wide variety of chemicals is not currently available.
