Analyse der Entwicklungs-Neurotoxizität von Neonicotinoiden und Pyrethroiden

• Research unit: SFOPH
• Project number: 16.928959

Key words (English)

DNT, developmental neurotoxicity, Biocides

Short description (English)

Based on the promising data generated so far, we would like to complete the study with further experiments before we finalise a manuscript or the final report. With these additional experiments, we would be able to submit a manuscript to a journal with a high impact factor, and therefore, our study will obtain a larger audience and will hopefully result in recognisance also for regulatory purposes. With all these additional data, we would have an interesting and complete study about potential DNT of important biocides. Moreover, we will demonstrate that the PC-12 cell system may serve as an in vitro alternative to in vivo DNT testing. The completion of the study will therefore result in a significant surplus over the current state of the art.
