TOXICOLOGY IN VITRO

Toxicology in Vitro will publish original research papers and occasional reviews on the use of in vitro techniques for determining the toxic effects of chemicals and elucidating their mechanisms of action. The Journal will encourage the submission of studies which, by utilising cell or tissue culture, perfused organs, tissue slices, isolated cells or subcellular fractions, including enzymes and cell-receptors, investigate the mechanisms of toxic effects encountered in vivo or better characterize the relationship between in vitro and in vivo observations. All aspects of toxicology will be covered, including specific organ toxicity (eg neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity), various toxic phenomena such as carcinogenesis or teratogenesis, and the development, characterization and validation of new in vitro models for the assessment and study of toxicity. The Journal's editorial policy will be firmly rooted in the need for high-quality science in support of health or safety decisions, and emphasis will be placed on results that facilitate evaluation of the hazard of chemicals to man and animals.

体外毒理学将发表原始的研究论文和偶尔的评论，使用体外技术来确定化学品的毒性作用和阐明其作用机制。该杂志将鼓励提交研究报告，通过利用细胞或组织培养、灌注器官、组织切片、分离细胞或亚细胞组分（包括酶和细胞受体），研究体内遇到的毒性作用机制，或更好地描述体外和体内观察到的毒性作用之间的关系。离子。毒理学的各个方面都将涵盖，包括特定器官毒性（如神经毒性、肾毒性）、各种毒性现象（如致癌或致畸），以及毒性评估和研究的新体外模型的开发、表征和验证。期刊的编辑政策将牢牢扎根于对高质量科学的需求，以支持健康或安全决策，并将重点放在有助于评估化学品对人类和动物的危害的结果上。新成员现在可以享受特殊费率。欲了解更多信息，请联系Diane Benford博士，英国吉尔福德萨里大学罗本斯提夫研究所秘书；电话：+441483259204；传真：+441483503517；电子邮件：d.benford@surrey.ac.uk或访问http://leden.tref.nl/ruttend/网站
