Adaptive imatinib regimens can mitigate cumulative toxicity while sustaining hemodynamic benefit: A model‐based simulation of the positioning imatinib for pulmonary arterial hypertension trial

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Imatinib improves hemodynamics in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), but dose‐dependent toxicity has limited its clinical development. We aimed to quantify the dose–efficacy–toxicity relationship and evaluate alternative dosing strategies using data from the PIPAH trial.

Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.
