Predicting the size and toxicity of chitosan/streptokinase nanoparticles at various values of processing parameters was the aim of this study. For the first time, a comprehensive model could be developed to determine the cytotoxicity of the nanoparti...
Supervised learning methods promise to improve integrated testing strategies (ITS), but must be adjusted to handle high dimensionality and dose-response data. ITS approaches are currently fueled by the increasing mechanistic understanding of adverse ...
Historically, the prediction of reproductive and developmental toxicity has largely relied on the use of animals. The adverse outcome pathway (AOP) framework forms a basis for the development of new non-animal test methods. It also provides biologica...
While machine learning has gained traction in toxicological assessments, the limited data availability requires the quantification of uncertainty of in silico predictions for reliable decision-making. This study addresses the challenge of predicting ...
Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Jul 1, 2025
This study presents a comprehensive machine learning-driven analysis to understand and predict the toxicity of nanoparticles (NPs), a crucial aspect in ensuring the safe application of nanotechnology in medicine, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and v...
The rising prevalence of nervous system disorders has become a significant global health challenge, with environmental pollutants identified as key contributors. However, the large number of environmental related compounds, combined with the low effi...
Regulatory agencies require comprehensive toxicity testing for prenatal drug exposure, including new drugs in development, to reduce concerns about developmental toxicity, that is, drug-induced toxicity and adverse effects in pregnant women and fetus...
