Newswise — Three contemporary reviews and two historical perspectives on stem cell methods and models in toxicology celebrate the 20th anniversary of Toxicological Sciences, as well as lead off the September 2018 issue. The issue also features papers on structural alerts for molecular initiating events; comparative toxicogenomics and AOPs; machine versus animal models; pesticides and asthma; and estimating risk without animals.
