Environmental estrogens (EEs), as typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), can bind to classic estrogen receptors (ERs) to induce genomic effects, as well as to G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) located on the membrane, thereby inducin...
The androgen receptor (AR) activation by androgens is vital for tissue development, sexual differentiation, and reproductive attributes in zebrafish (). However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind their activation remains limited. I...
A paradigm of chemical risk assessment is continuously extending from focusing on 'single substances' to more comprehensive approaches that examines the combined toxicity among different components in 'mixtures.' This change aims to account for the c...
Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)

Over the past decades, exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of synthetic chemicals notorious for their environmental persistence, has been shown to pose increased health risks. Despite that some PFAS were reported to have e...
The human exposome remains limited due to the challenging analytical strategies used to reveal low-level endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and their metabolites in serum and urine. This limits the integrity of the EDC exposure assessment and hind...
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) pollution is a major global environmental issue. Assessing the multiple toxic effects of EDCs is key to managing their risks. This study successfully developed an EDCs classification and recognition model based o...

Osteoporosis (OP), a metabolic disorder predominantly impacting postmenopausal women, has seen considerable progress in diagnosis and treatment over the past few decades. However, the intricate interplay between genetic factors and endocrine disrupto...
New approach methodologies (NAMs) offer information tailored to the intended application while reducing the use of animals. NAMs aim to develop quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) and quantitive-Read-Across structure-activity relation...
Traditional methods for identifying endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that activate androgen receptors (AR) are costly, time-consuming, and low-throughput. This study developed a knowledge-based deep neural network model (AR-DNN) to predict AR-me...
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 ...
