1. Computational methods for assessing chemical risk : focusing on toxicokinetic modelling in zebrafish (danio rerio)
Abstract : New chemicals are constantly produced and large data gaps exist on hazards of currently used industrial chemicals, stressing the need for rapid, ethically sound and cost-efficient hazard assessment methods. Traditional methods for effect assessment based on animal testing, do not meet these requirements and thus the toxicology field has been moving towards the development of new approach methodologies which include in vitro approaches but also computational methods.

2. Imaging vascular development in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Abstract : Formation of a functional vascular network is a prerequisite for physiological organ function in vertebrates. Pathological vascularization furthermore plays a role in several human diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, cardiovascular disease and cancer. READ MORE

3. The role of leptin in zebrafish (Danio rerio) : Novel insights into appetite regulation and reproduction
Abstract : The hormone leptin is a peripheral metabolic signal and an important regulator of energy balance. In mammals, leptin acts on the appetite centers in the hypothalamus, causing anorexigenic functions by inhibiting food intake. It is also considered as a link between the nutritional status and the endocrine reproductive axis. READ MORE

4. The toxicity of perfluoroalkyl acids in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Abstract : Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are globally distributed synthetic chemicals. Their unique properties make them widely used, in industry and elsewhere. These are a group of compounds with varying carbon chain lengths and functional groups. The toxicity evaluation of PFAAs is important to better assess their organismal and environmental impact.

5. Intraspecific divergence and phenotypic plasticity in behavioural profiles of teleost fish
Abstract : Behavioural differences between and within individuals can greatly affect the outcome of behavioural studies. In addition, behavioural interactions between individuals can compromise the health and welfare of captive fish. READ MORE
