Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Toxicological Sciences publishes research on the adverse effects of chemical substances and environmental pollutants on biological systems. Studies investigate mechanisms of toxicity, including cellular damage, organ-specific effects like nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity, and the role of factors such as endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress, and protein binding. The journal also covers toxicological assessment methods, drug metabolism, and the impact of environmental contaminants on health.
