New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) promise to offer a unique opportunity enable human-relevant safety decisions be made without the need for animal testing in context of exposure-driven Next Generation Risk Assessment (NGRA). Protecting human health against potential effects chemical may have on embryo-foetal development and/or aspects reproductive biology using NGRA is particularly challenging. These are not single endpoint or and risk assessments traditionally relied data from Developmental Reproductive Toxicity (DART) tests animals. There numerous Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) that can lead DART, which means defining developing strict strategies every AOP, predict apical outcomes, neither tenable goal nor necessity ensure NAM-based fit-for-purpose. Instead, pragmatic approach needed uses available knowledge exposure-led sufficiently protective. To this end, mechanistic biological coverage existing NAMs DART were assessed gaps addressed identified, allowing an relies generating relevant overall mechanisms involved reproduction development. Using cellular processes signalling pathways underlying key stages development, we developed broad outline endpoints informative DART. When compared determine whether they provide comprehensive when integrated framework, found them generally cover developmental evaluated studies. The application assessment framework illustrated case study.

Abstract The cellular landscape of the human intestinal tract is dynamic throughout life, developing in utero and changing response to functional requirements environmental exposures. Here, comprehensively map cell lineages, we use single-cell RNA sequencing antigen receptor analysis almost half a million cells from up 5 anatomical regions 11 distinct healthy paediatric adult gut. This reveals existence transcriptionally BEST4 epithelial tract. Furthermore, implicate IgG sensing as function tuft cells. We describe neural populations enteric nervous system, predict cell-type-specific expression genes associated with Hirschsprung’s disease. Finally, using systems approach, identify key players that drive formation secondary lymphoid tissue early development. show these programs are adopted inflammatory bowel disease recruit retain immune at site inflammation. catalogue will provide new insights into development, homeostasis

Current single-cell RNA-sequencing approaches have limitations that stem from the microfluidic devices or fluid handling steps required for sample processing. We develop a method does not require specialized devices, expertise hardware. Our approach is based on particle-templated emulsification, which allows encapsulation and barcoding of cDNA in uniform droplet emulsions with only vortexer. Particle-templated instant partition sequencing (PIP-seq) accommodates wide range emulsification formats, including microwell plates large-volume conical tubes, enabling thousands samples millions cells to be processed minutes. demonstrate PIP-seq produces high-purity transcriptomes mouse-human mixing studies, compatible multiomics measurements can accurately characterize cell types human breast tissue compared commercial platform. Single-cell transcriptional profiling mixed phenotype acute leukemia using reveals emergence heterogeneity within chemotherapy-resistant subsets were hidden by standard immunophenotyping. simple, flexible scalable next-generation workflow extends new applications.

Our ancestors acquired morphological, cognitive and metabolic modifications that enabled humans to colonize diverse habitats, develop extraordinary technologies reshape the biosphere. Understanding genetic, developmental molecular bases for these changes will provide insights into how we became human. Connecting human-specific genetic species differences has been challenging owing an abundance of low-effect size changes, limited descriptions phenotypic across development at level cell types lack experimental models. Emerging approaches single-cell sequencing, manipulation stem culture now support descriptive functional studies in defined with a human or ape background. In this Review, describe sequencing genomes from modern archaic hominins, great apes other primates is revealing new cellular - including atlases organoids are enabling exploration candidate causal factors underlie traits.

In the past decade, term organoid has moved from obscurity to common use describe a 3D in vitro cellular model of tissue that recapitulates structural and functional elements vivo organ it models. The is now applied structures formed as result two distinct processes: capacity for adult epithelial stem cells re-create niche ability direct differentiation pluripotent self-organizing multicellular organogenesis. While these fields rely upon different cell types recapitulate processes, both share challenges around robustness, accuracy, reproducibility. Critically, organoids are not organs. This commentary serves discuss challenges, how they impact genuine utility, shine light on need improve standards all approaches.

An important part of the central nervous system (CNS), cerebellum is involved in motor control, learning, reflex adaptation, and cognition. Diminished cerebellar function results cognitive impairment observed patients with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VD), Parkinson's (PD), Huntington's (HD), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), multiple (MS), even during normal aging process. In most disorders, mainly occurs a result morphological changes over time, although early stages some AD, also serves compensatory function. Biological accompanied by circuits, which are predominantly control. Despite decades research, functional contributions underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Therefore, this review will highlight cellular events that disrupted process development disorders. We believe deeper insights into pathophysiological be essential for design new effective strategies neuroprotection alleviation
