Doxorubicin (Dox) is one of the most widely used treatments for breast cancer, although limited by well-documented cardiotoxicity and other off-target effects. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) secretome has shown immunomodulatory regenerative properties, further potentiated under 3D conditions. This work aimed to uncover effect MSC-derived from (CM3D) or 2D (CM2D) cultures, in human malignant cells (MDA-MB-231), non-tumor epithelial (MCF10A) differentiated AC16 cardiomyocytes, co-treated with...

Introduction The development of reliable hepatic in vitro models may provide insights into disease mechanisms, linking hepatocyte dysmetabolism and related pathologies. However, several the existing depend on using high concentrations differentiation-promoting compounds, namely glucose, insulin, dexamethasone, which is among reasons that have hampered their use for modeling metabolism-related diseases. This work focused modulating glucose homeostasis glucocorticoid concentration to improve...

<title>Abstract</title> Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a complex and unpredictable event caused by different drugs, herbal, dietary supplements. The early identification of human hepatotoxicity at the preclinical stages remains major challenge, in which selection validated <italic>in vitro</italic> systems test drugs has significant impact. This systematic review aims to analyse compounds used assays establish unified list DILI positive negative control for validation...
