Introduction to the Theme “New Approaches, Technology, and Techniques That Advance Pharmacology and Toxicology”
Summary
This introductory overview for an Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology volume highlighted themes including systems biology, multi-omics, AI-based approaches for precision medicine, and new toxicity assessment frameworks for emerging contaminants like microplastics. The piece oriented readers toward methodological innovations reshaping pharmacology and toxicology research.
Volume 66 of the Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology includes numerous articles that reveal evolving ideas and insights in pharmacology and toxicology. The major theme is new approaches, technology and techniques. New ideas include the use of systems biology, multiomics, and artificial intelligence to support wellness, prevention, early detection of disease, and precision medicine. Other reviews highlight new ideas and approaches to treat infectious diseases, including the repurposing of drugs approved for other indications and long-acting therapeutics. Related reviews emphasize aspects of global health. One review discusses psychedelics as therapeutics. Several reviews discuss advances in drug discovery modalities. Others relate to a variety of topics in toxicology, including aspects of mitochondrial biology, e-cigarettes, air pollution, microplastics, and nanoplastics. These reviews and others in this volume inform readers about recent advances in pharmacology and toxicology and show how both specialties continue to be vital for improving health and safety globally.
