Model Organisms in Predictive Toxicology 2023

We are pleased to introduce the collection Model Organisms in Predictive Toxicology 2023.

Model organisms represent an invaluable resource for fundamental and applied research, allowing prediction studies, modeling, and the identification of action mechanisms. Classically used for biomedical studies, model organisms are progressively entering many disciplines within the Predictive Toxicology field. This article collection will showcase studies of model organisms that have significance to the field of Predictive Toxicology as a whole.

We welcome submissions of the following article types: Case Report, Clinical Trial, Correction, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review and Technology and Code that cover, but are not limited to, the following themes:

1. The importance and relevance of various experimental species to the field of Predictive Toxicology
2. Comparative and analytical studies studying the reliability of model organisms when predicting toxicity in humans
3. The use of model organisms in identifying the cellular and molecular pathways leading to toxicity

Keywords: model organisms, predictive toxicology, prediction studies, modeling, method of action, rat, mouse, zebrafish, drosophila

Important note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
