    Abstract Purpose of review: Defining molecular changes in key kidney cell types across lifespan and in disease states is essential to understand the pathogenetic basis of disease progression and targeted therapies. Various single cell approaches are being applied to define disease associated molecular signatures. Key considerations include the choice of reference tissue or 'normal' for comparison to diseased human specimens and a benchmark reference atlas. We provide an overview of select single cell technologies, key considerations for experimental design, quality control, choices and challenges associated with assay type and source for reference tissue.
    Recent findings: Several initiatives including Kidney Precision Medicine Project, Human Biomolecular Molecular Atlas Project, Genitourinary Disease Molecular Anatomy Project, ReBuilding a Kidney consortium, Human Cell Atlas and Chan Zuckerburg Initiative are generating single cell atlases of 'normal' or disease kidney. Different sources of kidney tissue are used as reference. Signatures of injury, resident pathology and procurement associated biological and technical artifacts have been identified in human kidney reference tissue.
    Summary: Committing to a particular reference or 'normal' tissue has significant implications in interpretation of data from disease samples or in ageing. Voluntarily donated kidney tissue from healthy individuals is generally unfeasible. Having reference datasets for different types of 'normal' tissue can aid in mitigating the confounds of choice of reference tissue and sampling biases.

    Abstract Bacterial infections are a major threat to human health. Rapid and accurate diagnosis of bacterial infections is essential for early interventions and rational use of antibiotic treatments. However, antibiotics are often initiated empirically while diagnostic tests are being performed. Moreover, traditional diagnostic tools, namely microscopy, microbiology and molecular techniques, are dependent upon sampling suspected sites of infection, and then performing tests. This approach is often invasive, labor intensive, time consuming, and subject to the uncertainties of incorrect sampling and contamination. There are currently no imaging approaches for the specific detection of bacterial infections. Therefore, there is a need for new noninvasive approaches to detect, localize and monitor bacterial infections with high sensitivity and specificity.

    Abstract The ability to localize hundreds of macromolecules to discrete locations, structures and cell types in a tissue is a powerful approach to understand the cellular and spatial organization of an organ. Spatially resolved transcriptomic technologies enable mapping of transcripts at single-cell or near single-cell resolution in a multiplex manner. The rapid development of spatial transcriptomic technologies has accelerated the pace of discovery in several fields, including nephrology. Its application to preclinical models and human samples has provided spatial information about new cell types discovered by single-cell sequencing and new insights into the cell-cell interactions within neighbourhoods, and has improved our understanding of the changes that occur in response to injury. Integration of spatial transcriptomic technologies with other omics methods, such as proteomics and spatial epigenetics, will further facilitate the generation of comprehensive molecular atlases, and provide insights into the dynamic relationships of molecular components in homeostasis and disease. This Review provides an overview of current and emerging spatial transcriptomic methods, their applications and remaining challenges for the field.

    Abstract We present a simple mathematical model that captures the evolutionary capabilities of a prebiotic compartment or protocell. In the model, the protocell contains an autocatalytic set whose chemical dynamics is coupled to the growth-division dynamics of the compartment. Bistability in the dynamics of the autocatalytic set results in a protocell that can exist with two distinct growth rates. Stochasticity in chemical reactions plays the role of mutations and causes transitions from one growth regime to another. We show that the system exhibits 'natural selection', where a 'mutant' protocell in which the autocatalytic set is active arises by chance in a population of inactive protocells, and then takes over the population because of its higher growth rate or 'fitness'. The work integrates three levels of dynamics: intracellular chemical, single protocell, and population (or ecosystem) of protocells.

    Abstract For a pharmaceutical drug, carcinogenicity testing occurs in rodents to identify its tumorigenic potential to allow assessment of the risk from its use in humans. Testing takes the form of 2-year studies in mice and rats and/or more recently, a 6-month study in transgenic mice. This paper examines the process of regulatory interaction regarding carcinogenicity testing, notably through the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) process to seek Executive Carcinogenicity Assessment Committee (ECAC) approval. The content of 37 submissions to CAC were examined. The paper also examines the outcome from such agency engagement, notably around study dose level selection as well as looking at the design of proposed carcinogenicity study protocols used in submissions (including numbers of animals, control group aspects and toxicokinetic [TK] evaluation). Overall, it was shown that the current process of regulatory interaction allows for studies acceptable to support eventual drug approval and marketing. However, it was established that areas exist to improve the content of submission documents and study design aspects.

    Abstract The intracellular delivery of the drug to the solid tumor is a major challenge in the treatment of solid tumors. This project aims to increase cytosolic drug delivery using the endosomal escape of drugs. Topotecan (TPT) and capsaicin were used for the treatment of solid tumors. The pH-dependent conversion of active lactone form to inactive carboxylic form is a major problem of TPT that limits its therapeutic use. Liposomal encapsulation of TPT improved the stability of active lactone form and increased the therapeutic efficacy of TPT. Endosomal degradation of liposomes may reduce the content in the target cells. To solve these problems, pH-sensitive liposomes (pSLPs) were developed which improved the intracellular drug delivery by the endosomal escape of drugs. The liposomes (LPs) bearing the drug(s) were prepared using the cast film method and optimized for various formulation and process variables using the Design-Expert 7 software by employing the Box-Behnken design (BBD). The developed hyaluronic acid (HA)-conjugated pSLPs (HA-pSLPs) displayed a vesicle size of 166.5 ± 2.31 nm, zeta potential - 30.53 ± 0.91, and entrapment efficiency of 44.39 ± 1.78%, and 73.48 ± 2.15% for TPT and CAP, respectively. HA-pSLPs displayed better cytotoxicity in comparison to free drugs either single or in combination on the MCF-7 cell line. The apoptosis and cellular uptake of HA-pSLPs were increased ⁓ 4.45-fold and ⁓ 6.95-fold as compared to unconjugated pSLPs, respectively. The pharmacokinetic studies in Balb/c mice demonstrated that HA-pSLPs increased the half-life, MRT, and AUC in comparison to the free drug solution. The HA-pSLPs formulation has shown remarkable tumor regression as compared to PpSLPs, pSLPs, and free drug combinations. These results demonstrated that TPT- and CAP-loaded HA-pSLPs offer a potential platform for targeted drug delivery to solid tumors.

    Abstract Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world, comprising a variety of disorders such as hypertension, heart attacks, Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD), dyslipidemias, strokes, coronary heart disease, and cardiomyopathies. The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that 22.2 million people will die from CVD in 2030. Conventional treatments for CVDs are often quite expensive and also have several side effects. This potentiates the use of medicinal plants, which are still a viable alternative therapy for a number of diseases, including CVD. Natural products' cardio-protective effects result from their anti-oxidative, anti-hypercholesterolemia, anti-ischemic, and platelet aggregation-inhibiting properties. The conventional therapies used to treat CVD have the potential to be explored in light of the recent increase in the popularity of natural goods and alternative medicine. Some natural products with potential in the management of cardiovascular diseases such as
