Developing mechanistic non-animal testing methods based on the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) framework must incorporate molecular and cellular key events associated with target toxicity. Using data from an in vitro assay and chemical structures, we a...
Cyanobacterial blooms, often dominated by Microcystis aeruginosa, are capable of producing estrogenic effects. It is important to identify specific estrogenic compounds produced by cyanobacteria, though this can prove challenging owing to the complex...
This study introduces an innovative strategy for the rapid and accurate identification of pesticide residues in agricultural products by combining surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with a state-of-the-art transformer model, termed SERSFormer...
Ground-level ozone ranks sixth among common air pollutants. It worsens lung diseases like asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. Despite recent attention from researchers, the link between exhaled breath and ozone-induced injury remains poorly un...
Recently, the rampant administration of antibiotics and their synthetic organic constitutes have exacerbated adverse effects on ecosystems, affecting the health of animals, plants, and humans by promoting the emergence of extreme multidrug-resistant ...
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are challenging to recognize because of their striped and uneven biomass distributions. To address this issue, a refined deep-learning algorithm termed HAB-Ne was developed for the recognition of HABs in GF-1 Wide Field of...
Cancer remains a significant global health concern, with millions of deaths attributed to it annually. Environmental pollutants play a pivotal role in cancer etiology and contribute to the growing prevalence of this disease. The carcinogenic assessme...
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) pose significant environmental and health risks due to their potential to interfere with nuclear receptors (NRs), key regulators of physiological processes. Despite the evident risks, the majority of existing res...
Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) are global pollutants with emerging concerns. Methods to predict and screen their toxicity are crucial. Elemental dyshomeostasis can be used to assess toxicity of environmental pollutants. Non-targeted metal...
Biochar adsorbents synthesized from food and agricultural wastes are commonly applied to eliminate heavy metal (HM) ions from wastewater. However, biochar's diverse characteristics and varied experimental conditions make the accurate estimation of th...
