Quantitative Adverse Outcome Pathway (qAOP) models are promising tools for deciphering mechanistically adverse effects as a result of exposure to chemicals. This commentary explores the role of causality reasoning to support the development of qAOP models for real-world applications and better informed decision making in chemical risk assessment. }, title = {A Matter of Trust: Learning Lessons About Causality Will Make qAOPs Credible}, type = {Full paper}, url = {}, volume = {21}, number = {}, journal = {COMPUTATIONAL TOXICOLOGY}, pages = {100205}, issn = {2468-1113 (print)}, publisher = {ELSEVIER BV}, doi = {10.1016/j.comtox.2021.100205 (online)} }
