Pulmonary diseases like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, lung fibrosis, and cancer pose a significant burden to global human health. Many of these complications arise as result exposure particulate matter (PM), which has been examined in several preclinical clinical trials for its effect on respiratory diseases. Particulate size less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) known inflict unforeseen repercussions, although data from epidemiological studies back this are pending. Conventionally utilized two-dimensional (2D) cell culture animal models have provided insufficient benefits emulating the vivo physiological pathological conditions. Three-dimensional (3D) structural models, including organ-on-a-chip experienced developmental upsurge recent times. Lung-on-a-chip potential simulate specific features lungs. With advancement technology, an emerging advanced technique termed microfluidic developed with aim identifying complexity cellular microenvironment body. In present Review, role lung-on-a-chip modeling reproducing explored, emphasis PM2.5-induced complications.

Abstract New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), broadly understood to include in silico, chemico, vitro and ex vivo methods, show great potential advancing risk assessment albeit their regulatory implementation is lagging. The EFSA Guidance on of nanomaterials (EFSA Nano‐RA) suggests nano‐specific best achieved through Integrated Approaches Testing Assessment (IATAs) with NAMs as the first choice generate new information. Integrating promises several advantages such a better human focus, more detailed insights into molecular mechanisms higher efficacy. However, applying NMs also poses considerable challenges issues related dispersion stability, dosimetry, agglomeration, dissolution, transformations or assay interferences. Significant efforts are being undertaken by standardisation organisations research projects establish various for NMs. Here thorough review provided covering that will be potentially useful food feed sector. It follows structure Nano‐RA expands it, where needed, support decision‐making selection NM assessment. begins an overview NAM‐frameworks, followed description individual including those relevant physicochemical characterisation, exposure hazard toxicodynamics toxicokinetics. focus concerning degradation/dissolution, genotoxicity, cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, (pro‐)inflammation, barrier integrity important endpoints initial screening according framework. As result, total 267 nano‐relevant NAMs, mostly “not validated” (with few notable exceptions), were included this review. Validation notwithstanding, could already prove reliable NMs, especially integrated approaches.

Abstract Kidneys are complex organs, and reproducing their function physiology in a laboratory setting remains difficult. During drug development, potential compounds may exhibit unexpected nephrotoxic effects, which imposes significant financial burden on pharmaceutical companies. As result, there is an ongoing need for more accurate model systems. The use of renal organoids to simulate responses insults has the bridge gap between preclinical efficacy studies cell cultures animal models, stages clinical trials humans. Here we established accessible fluorescent whole-mount approach nuclear membrane staining first provide overview organoid histology. Furthermore, investigated toxicity. For this purpose, were treated with chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin 48 h. When viability was assessed biochemically, demonstrated significant, dose-dependent decline response treatment. Confocal microscopy revealed visible tubular disintegration loss cellular boundaries at high concentrations. This observation further reinforced by decrease area analyzed images.
