A Fuzzy Epigenetic Model for Representing Degradation in Engineered Systems
Degradation processes are implicated in a large number of system failures, and are thus crucial to understanding issues related to reliability and safety. Systems typically degrade in response to stressors, su...

Open AccessTargeting redox metabolism: the perfect storm induced by acrylamide poisoning in the brain
Exposure to acrylamide may lead to different neurotoxic effects in humans and in experimental animals. To gain insights into this poorly understood type of neurotoxicological damage, we used a multi-omic appro...

Open AccessTherapeutic potential of N-acetylcysteine in acrylamide acute neurotoxicity in adult zebrafish
Two essential key events in acrylamide (ACR) acute neurotoxicity are the formation of adducts with nucleophilic sulfhydryl groups on cysteine residues of selected proteins in the synaptic terminals and the dep...

Advancing Adverse Outcome Pathways for Risk Assessment
The Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) framework was first proposed by Ankley and colleagues back in 2010 (Ankley et al. Environ Toxicol Chem 29:730–741, 2010). AOPs organize information across biological levels of...

Open AccessTargeted Gene Expression in Zebrafish Exposed to Chlorpyrifos-Oxon Confirms Phenotype-Specific Mechanisms Leading to Adverse Outcomes
Zebrafish models for mild, moderate, and severe acute organophosphorus poisoning were previously developed by exposing zebrafish larvae to chlopyrifos-oxon. The phenotype of these models was characterized at s...
