A Method for Sampling Rat Cerebrospinal Fluid with Minimal Blood Contamination: A Critical Tool for Biomarker Studies

Sampling and analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a common clinical practice used in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of neurological diseases. A similar interest is the sampling of CSF from rats to bridge the gap between bench-to-bedside work and to foster the development of new CSF biomarkers for clinical use. Here, ...

Improving Attribution of Adverse Events in Oncology Clinical Trials

Attribution of adverse events (AEs) is critical to oncology drug development and the regulatory process. However, processes for determining the causality of AEs are often sub-optimal, unreliable, and inefficient. Thus, a toxicity-attribution workshop was conducted in Silver Spring, MD to develop guidance for improving ...

A Comparison of Transgenic Rodent Mutation and In Vivo Comet Assay Responses for 91 Chemicals

Whilst the TGR and comet assays are available for measuring genotoxic effects in multiple rodent tissues, there has been no systematic comparison of their performance in detecting genotoxicity per se. A working group of the Genetic Toxicology Technical Committee (GTTC), part of the Health and Environmental Sciences Institute ...
