The global annual output of liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) continues to increase, yet associated environmental and health risks remain poorly characterized. Assessing the toxic effects of the LCM mixture and individual components is critical for risk...
The Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) concept leverages existing data to formalize and disseminate knowledge and is a well-accepted concept in chemical risk assessment. However, it does not handle the socio-economic impact that environmentally-induced di...
Cholestatic liver injury is a complex adversity leading to the toxic accumulation of.noxious bile salts in the liver and systemic circulation. Cholestasis can be instigated by a plethora of chemicals originating from several applicability domains. Cu...
Toxicological studies have demonstrated the hepatic toxicity of several bisphenol analogs (BPs), a prevalent type of endocrine disruptor. The development of Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) has substantially contributed to the rapid risk assessment for ...
Alternatives to laboratory animals : ATLA

The first Stakeholder Network Meeting of the EU Horizon 2020-funded ONTOX project was held on 13-14 March 2023, in Brussels, Belgium. The discussion centred around identifying specific challenges, barriers and drivers in relation to the implementatio...
The antidepressant drug known as 5-HT reuptake inhibitor (5-HT-RI) was commonly detected in biological tissues and result in significant adverse health effects. Homology modeling was used to characterize the functionalities (efficacy and resistance),...
The use of quantum mechanics (QM) has long been the norm to study covalent-binding phenomena in chemistry and biochemistry. The pharmaceutical industry leverages QM models explicitly in covalent drug discovery and implicitly to characterize short-ran...
Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) and their networks are important tools for the development of mechanistically based non-animal testing approaches, such as in vitro and/or in silico assays, to assess toxicity induced by chemicals. In the present study...
Exposure to certain chemicals such as disinfectants through inhalation is suspected to be involved in the development of pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease in which lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. Pulmonary fibrosis is known to be regulated ...
