Multiscale-Information-Embedded Universal Toxicity Prediction Framework.

Environmental science & technology
Hazard identification and labeling of industrial chemicals and their released environmental pollutants are crucial for mitigating ecological and health risks. Comprehensive evaluation of multiple toxicity end points is essential to fully characterize...

Layered double hydroxides and layered double oxides: Multifunctional catalysts for the detection, degradation, and transformation of phenolic compounds in environmental applications.

Environmental research
Phenolic compounds are persistent pollutants in industrial effluents, necessitating integrated strategies for their detection, degradation, and transformation. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and their calcined derivatives, layered double oxides (LD...

Advancing Whole-Cell Biosensors: Kinetics-Dependent Metabolic SERS Analytics for Pollutant Differentiation and Quantification.

Analytical chemistry
Whole-cell biosensors (WCBs), which detect targeting analytes through cellular responses, have become powerful tools for environmental monitoring. However, existing WCBs often rely on the single-channel low-dimension signal outputs (e.g., fluorescenc...

Interpretable machine learning approaches for predicting prostate cancer by using multiple heavy metal exposures based on the data from NHANES 2003-2018.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Environmental pollution plays a major role in the development of prostate cancer (PCA). However, there has been no research on machine learning (ML) modelling between multiple heavy metal exposures and PCA risk. Based on the 8022 samples from the 200...

Transfer learning enables robust prediction of cellular toxicity from environmental micro- and nanoplastics.

Journal of hazardous materials
Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging pollutants that accumulate in ecosystems, food chains, and the human body, raising concerns about human health risks. However, understanding their toxicity remains challenging due to limited experimental da...

A new approach methodology (NAM) for carcinogenicity prediction of organic chemicals using the multiclass ARKA framework and machine-learning-based stacking regression.

Journal of hazardous materials
The accumulation of organic pollutants in the environment has significantly impacted the lives of flora and fauna, resulting in disruptions in the biological ecosystem. Carcinogenicity has been one of the most alarming adverse effects exhibited by th...

Potential effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on preserved ratio impaired spirometry revealed by five different approaches.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
OBJECTIVE: Evidence from prior studies indicates that certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as phenols and phthalates, may serve as environmental risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, no studies have ex...

Deep learning-based screening approach for priority pollutants: a case study on retired power battery recycling.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
With the rapid increase in the production of retired power batteries, the potential environmental risks during recycling must urgently be identified and assessed. This study presented a novel screening framework for pollutant prioritization utilizing...

Nontarget Screening Analysis Combined with Computational Toxicology: A Promising Solution for Identification and Risk Assessment of Environmental Pollutants in the Big Data Era.

Environmental science & technology
Synthetic chemicals are intensively utilized in modern societies, and their mixtures pose significant health and ecological threats. Nontarget screening (NTS) analysis allows for the simultaneous chemical identification and quantitative reporting of ...

Multi-level evidence reveals PANK2 as a potential target of PFOA/PFOS-induced bone metabolism disruption: From network toxicology to in vitro validation.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) are two representative per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have attracted increasing attention due to their environmental persistence and potential health risks, while ...
