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.

A Collaborative Initiative to Establish Genomic Biomarkers for Assessing Tumorigenic Potential to Reduce Reliance on Conventional Rodent Carcinogenicity Studies

Toxicological Sciences, 2022

J. Christopher Corton, Constance A. Mitchell, Scott Auerbach, ...

This call-to-action paper published in Toxicological Sciences describes a multi-sector collaboration seeking to accelerate the evaluation of biomarker tools in carcinogenicity studies which will facilitate the transition from current heavy reliance on conventional 2-year rodent ...

A comparison of the lowest effective concentration in culture media for detection of chromosomal damage in vitro and in blood or plasma for detection of micronuclei in vivo

Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis, 2022

David Kirkland, James Whitwell, Robert Smith, ...

It is often assumed that genotoxic substances will be detected more easily by using in vitro rather than in vivo genotoxicity tests since higher concentrations, more cytotoxicity and static exposures can be achieved. However, there is a paucity of data demonstrating whether genotoxic substances are detected at lower ...

A Comparison of Transgenic Rodent Mutation and In Vivo Comet Assay Responses for 91 Chemicals

Mutation Research / Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis, 2019

Kirkland D, Levy DD, LeBaron MJ, Aardema MJ, Beevers C, Bhalli J, ...

Whilst the TGR and comet assays are available for measuring genotoxic effects in multiple rodent tissues, there has been no systematic comparison of their performance in detecting genotoxicity per se. A working group of the Genetic Toxicology Technical Committee (GTTC), part of the Health and Environmental Sciences Institute ...

A Critical Review of Bioaccumulation and Biotransformation of Organic Chemicals in Birds

Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2022

Kuo DTF, Rattner BA, Marteinson SC, Letcher R, Fernie KJ, Treu G, ...

A literature review of bioaccumulation and biotransformation of organic chemicals in birds was undertaken, aiming to support scoping and prioritization of future research. The objectives were to characterize available bioaccumulation/ biotransformation data, identify knowledge gaps, determine how extant data can be ...
