Trending and Emerging
- Nanotoxicology:
An increasing number of studies are being published on the toxicity of nanomaterials, exploring their interactions with biological systems and potential health risks. - Environmental Mixture Toxicology:
There is a growing interest in understanding the effects of chemical mixtures and their cumulative impacts on health and the environment, reflecting real-world exposure scenarios. - Biomarker Development and Toxicogenomics:
Research is trending towards the identification of biomarkers and the application of toxicogenomic approaches to elucidate the effects of toxicants at the molecular level. - Neurotoxicity Studies:
A significant increase in research focusing on neurotoxic effects, particularly concerning the impact of various chemicals on neuronal health and behavior. - Protective Effects of Natural Compounds:

Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemical Toxicology:
There appears to be a decreasing emphasis on traditional toxicology studies that do not incorporate modern methodologies such as in silico modeling or advanced molecular techniques. - Single-agent Toxicity Studies:
Research focusing solely on the toxicity of individual compounds is being overshadowed by studies that explore complex mixtures and environmental interactions, reflecting a shift towards more ecologically relevant research. - Pharmaceutical Toxicity without Mechanistic Insights:
There is a noticeable decline in studies reporting pharmaceutical toxicity without delving into the underlying mechanisms, as the field increasingly values mechanistic understanding.
