Peer-Reviewed
Publications

Open access, peer-reviewed publications ensure that knowledge is a public good. HESI believes that accessible research is critical for equitable engagement, diverse collaboration, and increased interdisciplinary conversation. We strive to achieve open access on all publications, and more than 200 publications from HESI programs have been published in the last decade.

Enhancing quality of life as a goal for anticancer therapeutics

Science Translational Medicine, 2016

Syril D. Pettit, Steven E. Lipshultz, Charles S. Cleeland, ...
  • HESI - Health and Environmental Sciences Institute

Advances in cancer therapy has resulted in more cancer survivors, and now quality of life throughout treatment and surviving years is becoming a new focus for the scientific community. There are often unintended toxicities related to cancer therapies. HESI established the THRIVE program to address quality-of-life research.

Electrophysiological Characterization of Drug Response in hSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes Using Voltage-Sensitive Optical Platforms

Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods, 2019

Pfeiffer-Kaushik ER, Smith GL, Cai B, Dempsey GT, ...

Voltage-sensitive optical (VSO) sensors offer a minimally invasive method to study the time course of repolarization of the cardiac action potential (AP). This Comprehensive in vitro Proarrhythmia Assay (CiPA) cross-platform study investigates protocol design and measurement variability of VSO sensors for ...

Ecological Thresholds of Toxicological Concern: A Review

Frontiers in Toxicology, 2021

Baron MG, Otter, RR, Connors KA, Kienzler A, & Embry MR

The ecological threshold of toxicological concern (ecoTTC) is analogous to traditional human health-based TTCs but with derivation and application to ecological species. An ecoTTC is computed from the probability distribution of predicted no effect concentrations (PNECs) derived from either chronic or extrapolated acute ...

Echocardiographic and Hemodynamic Indices of Myocardial Contractility Simultaneously Evaluated in Telemetered Beagle Dogs: A HESI-Sponsored Cross-Company Evaluation

Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods, 2020

Rossman EI, Cools F, Cordes J, Dhuyvetter D, Doyle JM, ...
  • HESI - Health and Environmental Sciences Institute

Alterations in cardiac contractility can have significant clinical implications, highlighting the need for early detection of potential liabilities. Pre-clinical methods to assess contractility are typically invasive and their translation to human measures of cardiac function are not well defined. Clinically, cardiac ...
