Comments on Ortwin Renn's article 'Hormesis and risk communication': considerations about uncertainity, ignorance and governance.

abstract：:Predictive toxicology plays a critical role in reducing the failure rate of new drugs in pharmaceutical research and development. Despite recent gains in our understanding of drug-induced toxicity, however, it is urgent that the utility and limitations of our current predictive tools be determined in order to identify...
