Functional assays allow researchers to monitor key cellular processes such as apoptosis, proliferation, and metabolism, as well as internalization processes like phagocytosis and endocytosis. They also enable cell tracking and monitoring of ion transport, and can be used to assess cytotoxicity by measuring changes in viability, mitochondrial function, or cell cycle progression. Critically, because functional assays replicate a particular biological system in vitro, they can aid in promoting the growth of specific cell types or advance understanding of a particular disease. Many functional assays depend on certain critical reagents – namely, antibodies, recombinant proteins, and reagents certified as being suitable for GMP.
