Mechanisms of Chronic Fialuridine Hepatotoxicity; Comparison of Models for Predicting Cardiotoxicity in Humans; and More Featured in October 2019 Toxicological Sciences

In the October 2019 issue of Toxicological Sciences, articles on epigenetic changes to mouse livers; prenatal dexamethasone exposures in female rat offspring; and mechanisms of chronic fialuridine hepatotoxicity are highlighted. There also are open access articles on the comparison of models for predicting cardiotoxicity in humans and on the role of miR-380-3p (a microRNA dysregulated by PQ) in paraquat-induced toxicity in mouse neuronal cells.

Highlights of Toxicological Sciences Volume 171, Issue 2:

• TOX SPOTLIGHT “Widespread Epigenetic Changes to the Enhancer Landscape of Mouse Liver Induced by a Specific Xenobiotic Agonist Ligand of the Nuclear Receptor CAR”
• TOX SPOTLIGHT “Prenatal Dexamethasone Exposure Induced Alterations in Neurobehavior and Hippocampal Glutamatergic System Balance in Female Rat Offspring”
• TOX SPOTLIGHT “Mechanisms of Chronic Fialuridine Hepatotoxicity as Revealed in Primary Human Hepatocyte Spheroids”
