[Food and Chemical Toxicology] The authors described a ten-day long adipogenesis model using high content analysis readouts for adipocyte number, size, and lipid content on primary human MSC sensitive enough to compare bisphenol A derivatives quantitatively in a robust and high throughput manner.

[Nature Reviews Cardiology] Scientists provide strategic guidance for the translation of novel targets of immunotherapy into improvements in patient outcomes.

[Journal of Applied Toxicology] The authors review currently available information on lead (Pb)-mediated alterations in the fetal epigenome is summarized.

[Microbiome] Scientists investigated the regulatory effects of the gut microbiota on IL-35+ cells by using genetically modified mouse models of obesity.

[Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention] Bacterial 16S rRNA sequences were evaluated in oral samples from 90 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases and 90 controls who were a part of a larger US case–control study of HCC among patients diagnosed from 2011 to 2016. The authors provides novel evidence that oral Cyanobacteria may be an independent risk factor for HCC.
