Grateful for the recognition and the opportunity to share our work on cardiotoxicity with the @EU_ALTERNATIVE project at #WC12niagarafalls. Together, we can make a difference! 💪 #3Rsovertheedge.
Cardiovasc disease and cardiotoxicity are leading causes of death and drug attrition, resp. The EU project @EU_ALTERNATIVE focuses on developing a #NAMs based platform to test for cardiotoxicity. Presented @WC12Canada by @alexschafft #WC12 #WC12niagarafalls #3Rsovertheedge

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is estimated to be caused to 7-23% by environmental factors. Our paper focuses on the limitations of current regulations for #cardiotoxicity and how new approach methodologies (#NAMs) and #NonAnimalTesting can address them.

To investigate #obesity-promoting effects of #plasticadditives, we screened 20 emerging #plasticizers and their metabolites for interactions with PPARγ. The most potent ones promoted adipogenesis and impaired metabolic homeostasis in mature adipocytes.

I can't even 🤦.
In the UK the number of cases rose rapidly. But the public – and authorities – are only learning this now because these cases were only published now as a backlog. The reason was apparently that the database is managed in Excel and the number of columns had reached the maximum.

In 2016 as much as 11% of global plastic waste ended up in aquatic environments.
Without extraordinary and comprehensive efforts to transform the global plastics industry, huge amounts of plastic waste will accumulate in aquatic environments over the coming decades, according to new modeling research in Science. Read more: ($)

#Microplastics in our organs?. Not quite, at least we don't know yet. The misunderstood and unpublished data, which this headline is based on, actually only provides a new method for possibly discovering microplastics in human tissues.

The best explanation of how the immune system reacts to #COVID19 I have read so far! . The takeaway: It's complicated and a little bit scary and there's still a lot to figure out. But it's also incredibly fascinating. @edyong209.
