ECIG: a new study by CoEHAR screens different lab tests to evaluate the potential risk

The aim of the study is to investigate different in vitro toxicity methods for the assessment of ENDs toxicity. According to the Italian researchers, the most used assay, the neutral red uptake, should be combined with different tools (enlisted in the study) to better identifies the toxicity of the products and can avoid approximate and incorrect evaluation
