Characterization of a long-term mouse primary liver 3D tissue model recapitulating innate-immune responses and drug-induced liver toxicity. by Ramona Nudischer, Kasper Renggli, Andreas Hierlemann, Adrian B Roth, Cristina Bertinetti-Lapatki

“…Animal in vitro models enable back- and forward translation of in vitro and in vivo findings, bridge the gap between rodent in vivo and human in vitro scenarios, and ultimately support the interpretation of data generated with preclinical species and humans. Since mice are often used in drug development and physiologically relevant in vitro systems are lacking, we established, for the first time, a mouse liver model that encompasses primary parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells with preserved viability and functionality over three weeks. …”

Soil Bacterial and Fungal Community Composition in Top- and Subsoil From Irrigated Mediterranean Orchards by Mohamed Mdaini, Mohamed Mdaini, Mohamed Mdaini, Eva Lloret, Eva Lloret, Nadhem Brahim, Najet Shimi, Raúl Zornoza, Raúl Zornoza

“…Our findings indicated that soil pH (higher in subsoil), electrical conductivity (higher in topsoil) and soil organic carbon (higher in topsoil) were the primary physicochemical drivers of microbial community composition shifts between top- and subsoil. Genera such as Rhizobium, Skermanella, Microvirga and Rubrobacter (bacteria) and Aspergillus, Gibellulopsis, Alternaria, Preussia and Monocillium (fungi) were identified as key genera more abundant in the topsoil, while MB-A2-108, Streptomyces and Bacillus (bacteria), and Mortierella, Fusarium, Necosmospora, Chaetomium and Emericellopsis (fungi), were key genera more abundant in the subsoil, associated with key studied soil properties. …”
