    Abstract International Women's Day 2024 has a theme of inclusion. As publishers of preclinical research, we aim to show how inclusion of females in research advances scientific rigor and improves treatment reliability. Sexual reproduction is key to all life across the plant and animal kingdoms. Biological sex takes many forms that are morphologically differentiated during development: stamens versus pistils in plants; color and plumage in birds; fallopian tubes versus vas deferens in mammals; and differences in size, for instance, males are smaller in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Physical differences may be obvious, but many traits may be more obscure, including hormonal, physiological and metabolic factors. These traits have a big influence on disease and responses to treatment. Thus, we call for improved inclusion, analysis and reporting of sex as a biological variable in preclinical animal modeling research.

    Abstract Model systems have played a large role in understanding human diseases and are instrumental in taking basic research findings to the clinic; however, for rare diseases, model systems play an even larger role. Here, we outline how model organisms are crucial for confirming causal associations, understanding functional mechanisms and developing therapies for disease. As diseases that have been studied extensively through genetics and molecular biology, cystic fibrosis and Rett syndrome are portrayed as primary examples of how genetic diagnosis, model organism development and therapies have led to improved patient health. Considering which model to use, yeast, worms, flies, fish, mice or larger animals requires a careful evaluation of experimental genetic tools and gene pathway conservation. Recent advances in genome editing will aid in confirming diagnoses and developing model systems for rare disease. Genetic or chemical screening for disease suppression may reveal functional pathway members and provide candidate entry points for developing therapies. Model organisms may also be used in drug discovery and as preclinical models as a prelude to testing treatments in patient populations. Now, model organisms will increasingly be used as platforms for understanding variation in rare disease severity and onset, thereby informing therapeutic intervention.

    Abstract The ability to analyze the proteome of single cells is critical for the advancement of studies of steady-state and pathological processes. Mass cytometry, or CyTOF, combines principles of mass spectrometry and flow cytometry to enable single-cell analysis of protein expression. CyTOF can simultaneously assess DNA content and proteins and has the capacity to measure 40 to 100 parameters in each cell. Applying this technology to tissues or cells on slides, termed imaging mass cytometry (IMC), allows for visualization of normal and diseased tissues in situ. The high-dimensional proteomic analysis that can be undertaken with CyTOF and IMC has the potential to enhance our understanding of complex and heterogeneous developmental and disease pathways. This article will describe the CyTOF experimental workflow, including reagent selection, sample preparation, and data analysis. CyTOF is compared to flow cytometry, focusing on the strengths and weaknesses of these powerful techniques. Importantly, we review key studies in mouse models of human disease that highlight the strength of CyTOF and IMC to drive discovery research and therapeutic advancement. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

    Abstract Individual rare diseases may affect only a few people, making them difficult to recognize, diagnose or treat by studying humans alone. Instead, model organisms help to validate genetic associations, understand functional pathways and develop therapeutic interventions for rare diseases. In this Editorial, we point to the key parameters in face, construct, predictive and target validity for accurate disease modelling, with special emphasis on rare disease models. Raising the experimental standards for disease models will enhance successful clinical translation and benefit rare disease research.

    Abstract Despite advances in chemotherapies that improve cancer survival, most patients who relapse succumb to the disease due to the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are highly chemoresistant. The pluripotency factor PR domain 14 (PRDM14) has a key role in initiating many types of cancer. Normally, PRDM14 uses epigenetic mechanisms to establish and maintain the pluripotency of embryonic cells, and its role in cancer is similar. This important link between cancer and induced pluripotency is a key revelation for how CSCs may form: pluripotency genes, such as PRDM14, can expand stem-like cells as they promote ongoing DNA damage. PRDM14 and its protein-binding partners, the ETO/CBFA2T family, are ideal candidates for eliminating CSCs from relevant cancers, preventing relapse and improving long-term survival.
