Although substantial concerns about the inflammatory effects of engineered nanomaterial (ENM) have been raised, experimentally assessing toxicity of various ENMs is challenging and time-consuming. Alternatively, quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models…
CD38-targeted antibody, daratumumab, is approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). Phase 1/2 studies GEN501/SIRIUS revealed a novel immunomodulatory mechanism of action (MOA) of daratumumab that enhanced the immune…
Excerpt from Chapter 1 – Computational Toxicology Promotes Regulatory Science: New tools have become available to researchers and regulators including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, molecular dynamics, bioinformatics,…
Toxicant screening is only as efficient and effective as the underlying methods. Unfortunately, chemical toxicity screening is predominated by slow, laborious, and costly methods some of which raise ethical concerns….
Reference genome selection is a prerequisite for successful analysis of next generation sequencing (NGS) data. Current practice employs one of the two most recent human reference genome versions: HG19 or…
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) mimic natural hormones and disrupt endocrine function. Humans and wildlife are exposed to EDCs might alter endocrine functions through various mechanisms and lead to an adverse…
