Perspective: How complex in vitro models are addressing the challenges of predicting drug-induced liver injury by K. Taylor, R. Ram, R. Ram, L. Ewart, C. Goldring, G. Russomanno, G. P. Aithal, T. Kostrzewski, C. Bauch, J. M. Wilkinson, J. M. Wilkinson, S. Modi, J. G. Kenna, J. G. Kenna, J. Bailey, J. Bailey

“…Predicting which drugs might have the potential to cause drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is highly complex and the current methods, 2D cell-based models and animal tests, are not sensitive enough to prevent some costly failures in clinical trials or to avoid all patient safety concerns for DILI post-market. Animal-based methods are hampered by important species differences in metabolism and adaptive immunity compared to humans and the standard 2D in vitro approaches have limited metabolic functionality and complexity. …”

Influence of puberty stage in immune-inflammatory parameters in well-trained adolescent soccer-players, following 8-weeks of pre-seasonal preparation training by Marios Hadjicharalambous, Eleanna Chalari, Nikolaos Zaras

“…This suggests that when the same training load (frequency, duration, intensity) is applied to adolescents at different stages of puberty, immune-inflammatory responses are not significantly influenced by age, but physical fitness improves regardless of puberty stage. A key limitation of this study is the lack analysis of lymphocyte subpopulations, which could provide a deeper understanding of the cellular effects of training on immune function.…”
