The Archives of Toxicology aim to promote our understanding of toxic as well as pathophysiological mechanisms relevant to the mode of action of chemicals on human and mammalian cells and organisms. Particularly welcome are Short Communications, Review Articles, Original Articles, and Commentaries that focus on:

molecular mechanisms of toxic substances
in vitro techniques for toxicity testing and regulatory toxicology
advances in "omics" techniques for identification and classification of toxic substances
mechanisms and relevance of metabolic activation and inactivation
