Toxicologic Pathology is pleased to announce the publication of a special 2020 issue focusing on The Challenges of Inhaled Biotherapeutics. This peer-reviewed issue will bring together experts in the field of inhalation toxicology and pathology to provide an overview of the commonly encountered challenges associated with inhaled biologics. This issue will be forwarded by two white papers–the first addressing the pathological effects commonly seen with inhaled biologics and their implications for drug development, and the second addressing the toxicological and technical challenges associated with this route of delivery.

This call for papers seeks manuscripts from authors with experience in inhalation toxicology or the nonclinical development of inhaled biologics.

Toxicologic Pathology is pleased to announce the publication of a special 2020 issue focusing on Stem Cell-based Therapy Development. Rapid advances in stem cell biology have produced confusion and misinformation on the readiness of this field for clinical use in humans and animals. This peer reviewed special issue will emphasize the issues concerning cell therapies, exemplified but not limited to stem cell and related fields. Major focus will be safety assessment, issues complicating nonclinical  development of stem cell therapies, including study design, methods for evaluating histopathology findings, carcinogenicity evaluation, immune compatibility, and solutions to these issues to propel the field into the future therapies. This issue will explore concepts such as the fate of injected stem cells, teratoma formation and neoplasia, ectopic growths, use of autologous induced stem cells, use of stem cells in veterinary medicine and present state of the field. Also included will be issues of terminology and standardization of methods and nomenclature.
