Chemicals toxic to humans may be picked up by tests on environmental model species, thanks to shared disease pathways, according to work part-funded by the EU’s PrecisionTox project. The work “blurs the line” between human toxicology and ecotoxicology and paves the way to “species-agnostic” adverse outcome pathways (AOPs), said lead author John Colbourne from the University of Birmingham, UK.
