A Need to Consistently Characterize Aerosol Research Associated with E-cigarettes Is Featured in New Issue of ToxSci

In the newly released October 2022 issue of Toxicological Sciences (ToxSci), the official journal of the Society of Toxicology (SOT), a ToxPoint article discusses “The Importance of Conventional Toxicological Metrics of Aerosol Characterization.” This article is free to read for nonsubscribers.

Other featured research includes ToxSpotlight articles on a pharmacokinetic model for quantifying the mother-to-child transfer of environmental chemicals and on how febuxostat may increase the risk for cardiovascular events by dysregulating calcium dynamics:

• “A Generic Pharmacokinetic Model for Quantifying Mother-to-Offspring Transfer of Lipophilic Persistent Environmental Chemicals”
• “Febuxostat Increases Ventricular Arrhythmogenesis through Calcium Handling Dysregulation in Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes”

Both ToxSpotlight articles are free to read for nonsubscribers.

ToxSci Volume 189, Issue #2, as well as all past issues, is available on the ToxSci website.
