AOPs are triggered by the interaction of a “stressor” (e.g. chemical, nanomaterial, radiation, virus, …) with the organism on molecular level, leading to the Molecular Initiating Event (MIE). The scope of the AOP Framework starts with the MIE and does not explicitly include the stressor, in other words, AOPs are “stressor-agnostic”. However, currently the AOP-Wiki includes a data object “Stressor”. This needs to be addressed by de-emphasising the role of stressors in the AOP-Wiki.
