The recent development of a custom cDNA microarray platform for one of thé standard organisms in aquatic toxicology, Daphnia magna, opened up new ways to mechanistic insights of toxicological responses. In this study, gene expression and (sub)organismal responses (Cellular Energy Allocation, growt...

Standard bioassays allow hazard assessment at the population level, but much remains to be learned about the molecular level response of organisms to stressors. The main aim of this study was the development of a DNA microarray for Enchytraeus albidus, a common soil worm species. Further, this micro...

Decrease in Cdx dosage in an allelic series of mouse Cdx mutants leads to progressively more severe posterior vertebral defects. These defects are corrected by posterior gain of function of the Wnt effector Lef1. Precocious expression of Hox paralogous 13 genes also induces vertebral axis truncat...

The capacity of dendritic cells (DC) to migrate from peripheral organs to lymph nodes (LN) is an important event in the initiation of a T cell-mediated immune response. Previously it was shown that the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters P-glycoprotein (P-gp; ABCB1) and the 2 multidrug resistanc...

Daphnia are an important and widely studied model species in ecological and toxicological studies throughout the world and an official (OECD) recommended test organism. Their small size, wide distribution and easy growth conditions make this an organism ideal for functional genomics based studies, i...
ORGANISM(S): Daphnia magna 
A reduced level of DNA methylation has recently been described in both Zn-exposed and non-exposed offspring of Daphnia magna exposed to Zn. The hypothesis examined in this study is that DNA hypomethylation has an effect on gene transcription. A second hypothesis is that accumulative epigenetic effec...

The zebrafish embryotoxicity test (ZET) is considered as a useful alternative model in predictive toxicology. Currently, morphological assessment of the embryo is the main readout for this assay. However, implementation of transcriptomics may help to detect more subtle effects which may increase the...
