ANIMAL TESTING has long been considered the gold standard for environmental toxicology, the determination of the toxicity of chemicals found in the environment. But animal testing takes a long time ...

According to an article published by WebMD in 2012, there are different types of toxicology tests. For this article, we are talking about forensic toxicology testing, or toxicology tests that are ...

This Research Topic will showcase advances in non-animal toxicology that improve the mechanistic understanding and predictive assessment of chemical safety.

Toxicity-testing strategies designed to generate information on potential hazards or risks posed by environmental agents have evolved in response to legislative mandates, scientific developments, and ...

A study led by scientists at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health suggests that advanced algorithms working from large chemical databases can predict a new chemical's toxicity better than ...

Sixteen federal agencies partnered to develop a strategic roadmap that offers a new framework for the safety testing of drugs and chemicals, which aims to provide more human relevant toxicology data ...

Medicinal chemists know their latest compound won't be taken seriously as a drug lead until it's proven its punch in animal models. Stem cells, however, may turn out to be a promising alternative to ...

Evaluation and medical management of poisoning is often aided by laboratory tests. These range from basic analyses used ...

Biocompatibility testing is a necessary part of any medical device validation process. It is governed by FDA’s ISO 10993 guidance document, a seemingly rigid statement that provides a general matrix ...

Researchers have developed a cell culture test to detect substances that are directly or indirectly harmful to embryos. Based on an existing test used for developing new drugs and chemicals, the ...

The purpose of toxicity testing is to generate information about a substance’s toxic properties so that the health and environmental risks it poses can be adequately evaluated. Federal agencies use ...
