Life-Cycle Perspectives on Aquatic Ecotoxicity of Common Ionic Liquids

, 2016
This study compares the aquatic ecotoxicity impacts of production- and use-phase release of five common ionic liquids (ILs). Integrating toxicity data, physical properties, and fate and transport parameters with the USEtox model, we report, for the first

Exposure protocol for ecotoxicity testing of microplastics and nanoplastics.

, 2023
Despite the increasing concern about the harmful effects of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs), there are no harmonized guidelines or protocols yet available for MNP ecotoxicity testing. Current ecotoxicity studies often use commercial spherical particles as

Development of a Zebrafish Embryo‐Based Test System for Thyroid Hormone System Disruption: 3Rs in Ecotoxicological Research

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.

Bridging the Gap Between Human Toxicology and Ecotoxicology Under One Health Perspective by a Cross‐Species Adverse Outcome Pathway Network for Reproductive Toxicity

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Cross‐species extrapolation of adverse outcome pathway network on reproductive toxicity under the One Health perspective using new approach methodologies. AOP = adverse outcome pathway. Abstract Although ecotoxicological and toxicological risk assessments are performed separately from each other, recent efforts have been made in both disciplines to ...

Bioinspired Regenerative Lignification Enables Ultra‐Hard and Sustainable Bamboo Structural Materials

Exploration, EarlyView.
Developing strong and sustainable materials is essential for reducing reliance on metals and lowering carbon emissions. Inspired by how plants naturally harden their cell walls, we created a rapid process that transforms bamboo into an ultra‐hard structural material by rebuilding lignin‐like networks within its structure.
