Abstract Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), an established model organism, has been
widely used in environmental toxicology research. However, most of the current toxicity …

Applying toxicity testing of chemicals in higher order organisms, such as mice or rats, is time-
consuming and expensive, due to their long lifespan and maintenance issues. On the …

The unfavorable effects of environmental pollutants are becoming increasingly evident. In
recent years, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has been used as a powerful terrestrial …

Caenorhabditis elegans has been an invaluable model organism in research fields such as
developmental biology and neurobiology. Neurotoxicity is one of the subfields greatly …

There is a well-defined regulatory framework governing the approval of chemicals for use as
pharmaceuticals or release into the environment. Toxicity assessment is thus a major hurdle …

A ring test was carried out within the standardization process of ISO 10872 to evaluate the
precision of the toxicity test for the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Eight different …

Increasing production and use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) has generated
widespread interest in measuring their environmental and human health effects. However …

Caenorhabditis elegans is a nematode widely used as a toxicological model. The
transparency of its body, short lifespan, ability to self-fertilize and ease of culture are …

Caenorhabditis elegans aquatic toxicity assays were standardized with five common
reference toxicants: CdC12, NaC1, KC1, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), and sodium …

Caenorhabditis elegans is a small nematode that can be maintained at low cost and
handled using standard in vitro techniques. Unlike toxicity testing using cell cultures, C …
