The article highlighted in this issue is "Human Respiratory Tract Cancer Risks of Inhaled Formaldehyde: Dose Response Predictions Derived from Biologically Motivated Computational Modeling of a Combined Rodent and Human Dataset," by Rory Conolly, Julia Kimbell, Derek Janszen, Paul Schlosser, Darin Kalisak, Julian Preston, and Frederick Miller.
In the featured article, Conolly et al. describe the development of the human component of a biologically motivated computational model to predict exposure response at levels of formaldehyde less than those associated with squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) observed in Fischer 344 rats exposed by inhalation. The article addresses extension of the computational model to the entire respiratory tract of humans,
