Amputation in Enchytraeus crypticus - a New Approach Methodology (NAM) - assessing the longer-term effects of Cadmium under regeneration stress events

Key Points

• Regeneration is notably affected by cadmium exposure over time, impacting overall organism health.
• Key evidence shows significant alterations in regeneration patterns post-amputation after cadmium treatment.
• Assessment using environmental toxicity indicators illustrated prolonged effects linked to cadmium exposure.
• Study highlights the necessity for understanding chemical impacts on regeneration processes and ecological health.
