Newswise — The July 2024 issue of Toxicological Sciences includes a Contemporary Review that discusses what is currently known about how AHR-signaling influences macrophage differentiation, polarization, and function. The issue also features an In-Depth Review that focuses on allergic reactions induced by systemically administered low-molecular weight drugs with an emphasis on drug- and patient-specific factors that could influence the development of drug hypersensitivity reactions. Additionally, a ToxSpotlight article describes a parameter grouping approach when using physiologically based kinetic models while another Tox Spotlight article explores how neonatal BDE-99 exposure may reprogram cell type–specific gene expression and cell-cell communication in the liver.
