    Molecular signatures of angiogenesis inhibitors: a single-embryo untargeted metabolomics approach in zebrafish

    Angiogenesis is a key process in embryonic development, a disruption of this process can lead to severe developmental defects, such as limb malformations. The identification of molecular perturbations represen...

    3D-Hunde-Lebersphäroide für die präklinische in vitro-Testung

    Generation of dog 3D spheroids has been hampered by the fact that dog hepatocytes do not always form spheroids in standard 96-well low attachment plates making in vitro hepatotoxicity testing in high-throughput-f...

    Kofaktor-Mikroarrays zur Identifikation von Kernrezeptorliganden

    Different in vitro approaches exist to identify agonistic or antagonistic activity of chemical substances concerning nuclear receptors, since adverse effects in vivo can be the consequence. The recruitment of cor...

    In vitro-to-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) by PBTK modeling for animal-free risk assessment approaches of potential endocrine-disrupting compounds

    While in vitro testing is used to identify hazards of chemicals, nominal in vitro assay concentrations may misrepresent potential in vivo effects and do not provide dose–response data which can be used for a r...

    Thrombin causes the Enrichment of Rat Brain Primary Cultures with Ependymal Cells Via Protease-Activated Receptor 1

    Ependymal cell culture models from rat have been developed over the last 20 years to facilitate biochemical studies on this least-studied glial cell type. The cell culture protocol calls for the presence of th...
