The paper chosen for the Editor's Highlight in this issue is
Emerging Mechanistic Targets in Lung Injury Induced by Combustion-Generated Particles by Marc W. Fariss, M. Ian Gilmour, Christopher A. Reilly, Wolfgang Liedtke, and Andrew J. Ghio. Co-Interim Editor-in-Chief Matthew Campen notes in the Editor's Highlight that "A new initiative to better link scientific proceedings of the Society of Toxicology Annual Meeting with
Toxicological Sciences involves the invitation of review articles from especially interesting and innovative symposia. Fariss and colleagues present an integration of new concepts from a symposium held at the 2012 Annual Meeting related to transient receptor potential (TRP) channels as sensors of xenobiotics and secondary intermediates and ultimately determinants of particulate matter toxicity. Compelling evidence sheds light on TRP channels mediating airway injury, hyperreactivity, and cardiovascular toxicity of inhaled pollutants." John C. Lipscomb also is serving as the Co-Interim Editor-in-Chief of
Toxicological Sciences.
