Machine learning (ML) has shown a great promise in predicting toxicity of small molecules. However, the availability of data for such predictions is often limited. Because of the unsatisfactory performance of models trained on a single toxicity endpo...

INTRODUCTION: The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to predictive toxicology is rapidly increasing, particularly aiming to develop non-testing methods that effectively address ethical concerns and reduce economic costs. In this context, Dev...
The predominantly animal-centric approach of chemical safety assessment has increasingly come under pressure. Society is questioning overall performance, sustainability, continued relevance for human health risk assessment and ethics of this system, ...
The development of toxicity classification models using the ToxCast database has been extensively studied. Machine learning approaches are effective in identifying the bioactivity of untested chemicals. However, ToxCast assays differ in the amount of...
In vitro microelectrode array (MEA) assessment using human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons holds promise as a method of seizure and toxicity evaluation. However, there are still issues surrounding the analysis methods used to pre...

In silico approaches have been studied intensively to assess the toxicological risk of various chemical compounds as alternatives to traditional in vivo animal tests. Among these approaches, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysi...
Respiratory toxicology remains a major research area in the 21st century since current scenario of airborne viral infection transmission and pollutant inhalation is expected to raise the annual morbidity beyond 2 million. Clinical and epidemiological...
There are currently 85,000 chemicals registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Toxic Substances Control Act, but only a small fraction have measured toxicological data. To address this gap, high-throughput screening (HTS) an...
The 3Rs concept, calling for replacement, reduction and refinement of animal experimentation, is receiving increasing attention around the world, and has found its way to legislation, in particular in the European Union. This is aligned by continuing...
