About the Journal
Research & Reviews: A Journal of Toxicology [2231-3834 (e)] is a peer-reviewed open access journal launched in 2010 and focused on the publication of current research work carried out under Toxicology. It is concerned with the harmful effects of chemical, biological and physical agents in biological systems that establish the extent of damage to living organisms.
Focus and Scope
- Toxicity, Mechanisms, and Health Effects: Cell adhesion, intra-, and inter-cellular signaling, protein folding, maturation, apoptosis, ionic transportation, enzyme regulation, and release of neurotransmitters, heavy metal toxicity, health hazard of nanoparticles, environmental pollutants, food additives.
- Biological Toxicology: Micro-organisms, Diphtheria Toxin, Tetrodotoxin, Pertussis Toxin, Botulinum Toxin, Snake Venom Toxins, Conotoxin, and Ricin, bio-agents, biological warfare agents, bioterrorism.
- Xenobiotics and Foreign Toxins: Plant constituents, drugs, pesticides, cosmetics, flavorings, fragrances, food additives, industrial chemicals, environmental pollutants, human consumption and excretion, wastewater, and sewage treatment plants.
