Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Zebrafish as a Model for Toxicological Research”, intends to gather contributions presenting new insights into the adverse effects of chemical compounds on this cutting-edge teleost model, and to explore mechanisms and methods relevant to chemistry, pharmacology, and biomedicine. In the last two decades, zebrafish has gained momentum as a model for toxicological research due to its intrinsic biological advantages, and due to the availability of molecular tools, high-throughput screening systems and numerous mutant and transgenic lines. To be considered for this Special Issue, manuscripts should be original and present novel findings on topics including naturally occurring toxicants, emerging pollutants, pathophysiological mechanisms underlying compound toxic effects, the development of screening pipelines to identify toxicologically relevant molecules, the establishment of new mutant and transgenic zebrafish lines for the assessment of toxic effects on various organs and tissues, the genetics and omics effects of exposure to toxic compounds, and the developmental and transgenerational effects of toxic exposure. This Special Issue intends to divulgate the latest advances on toxicology research studies using zebrafish models available through the publication of high-quality original research articles, but will also welcome short communications, review papers and technical articles describing new methodological approaches to uncover the effects of toxics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Toxics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
