in vitro and in vivo testing

What are the Limitations of In Vitro Testing?

While in vitro tests are invaluable, they do have certain limitations:
Lack of Complexity: In vitro models cannot replicate the complexity of a living organism, such as interactions with the immune system and tumor microenvironment.
Predictive Value: Results obtained in vitro do not always predict how a drug will perform in vivo.
Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics: In vitro tests cannot account for how a drug is metabolized and distributed within a living body.
