  • Three new publications on Adverse Outcome Pathways

    The first publication describes the linkage between inhibition of complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and motor deficit as in parkinsonian disorders. The second publication links chronic binding of antagonist to N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors during brain development leading to neurodegeneration. The third publication details the linkage between binding and activation of androgen receptor leading to reproductive dysfunction.
