Chemical Research in Toxicology Editorial Advisory Board Members’ Favorite CRT Articles
E
very year at the fall ACS meeting, the Editorial Board of Chemical Research in Toxicology (CRT) meets to enjoy a social hour and dinner (kindly provided by ACS) while discussing various topics of importance to the journal including any adjustments to the journal’s scope, ideas for new features, and how to enhance and better serve the journal’s readership. At the 2015 meeting in Boston, the Editorial Advisory Board members were asked to pick their favorite CRT papers, published within the past two years; these would be published together as a virtual issue. What you see in this virtual issue is the great diversity of interests both within the Editorial Advisory Board and within the papers published by CRT. Among the 16 papers highlighted here, you will find, as one would expect, significant interest in DNA breakage and adduct formation (5 papers) as well as characterization of toxicant impacts on enzymes or receptors (4 papers). You will also find insights in the area of method development, including new methods for skin sensitization testing and the application of accelerator mass spectrometry to explore the impacts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on humans. The virtual issue also includes papers focused on the molecular impacts of particular classes of toxicant exposures, including tobacco smoke, arsenic, and engineered nanomaterials. We are confident that you will enjoy this superb collection of papers; take a look, read a few, and be inspired to send us your own boundary-pushing work in the exciting field of chemical research in toxicology. You will find this virtual issue at http://pubs.acs.org/page/crtoec/vi/eab-favorites.html.
