An article in Environmental Health Perspectives describes in vitro to in vivo extrapolation models developed by NICEATM. These approaches accurately estimate chemical exposure levels that elicit positive responses in the rodent uterotrophic bioassay. A workflow to run these models is freely available and can be parameterized entirely using freely available in silico tools. Reference: Casey […]
