Zebrafish has become a popular model organism in several lines of biological research
sharing physiological, morphological and histological similarities with mammals. In fact …

Prolonged exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may result in autoimmune
diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoporosis (OP), which are based on an …

Early life stages of fish are highly sensitive to crude oil exposure and thus, short term
exposures during critical developmental periods could have detrimental consequences for …

Continuously increasing plastic production causes a constant accumulation of microplastic
particles (MPs) in the aquatic environment, especially in industrialized and urbanized areas …

Inhibition of angiogenesis is an important mode of action for the teratogenic effect of
chemicals and drugs. There is a gap in the availability of simple, experimental screening …

In developmental toxicity, the evaluation of early biomarkers may be predictive of later
developmental outcomes. Over the last few years, new models have been proposed for …

Zebrafish larvae have classically been used as a high-throughput model with which to test
both the bioactivity and toxicity of known and novel compounds, making them a promising …

The present study evaluates the in vitro developmental toxicity of 4-and 5-ring PAHs
including benz [a] anthracene and benzo [a] pyrene and six of their monomethylated …

The zebrafish embryotoxicity test (ZET) is widely used in developmental toxicology. The
analysis of gene expression regulation in ZET after chemical exposure provides mechanistic …

dichlorobiphenyl (PCB-11) is an emerging PCB congener widely detected in environmental
samples and human serum, but its toxicity potential is poorly understood. We assessed the …
