Selenium‐Based Nanoplatforms: An Emerging Theranostic Paradigm for Gynecological Cancers

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This reivew summarizes Selenium as a multifunctional anticancer regulator in gynecological cancers. It reduces tumor risk, enhances therapeutic efficacy, and reduces treatment toxicity. Selenium also overcomes chemoraditherapy resistance, improving overall treatment outcomes. ABSTRACT Gynecological cancers present significant therapeutic challenges due

The history of arsenical pesticides and health risks related to the use of Agent Blue

open access: yesAnnals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2017
Arsenicals in agriculture. Beginning in the 1970s, the use of arsenic compounds for such purposes as wood preservatives, began to grow. By 1980, in the USA, 70% of arsenic had been consumed for the production of wood preservatives.

The functions of crucial cysteine residues in the arsenite methylation catalyzed by recombinant human arsenic (III) methyltransferase. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Arsenic (III) methyltransferase (AS3MT) is a cysteine (Cys)-rich enzyme that catalyzes the biomethylation of arsenic. To investigate how these crucial Cys residues promote catalysis, we used matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass

High-throughput screening for the identification of dual inhibitors of BRD4 and RIPK3 toward the development of small-molecule medical countermeasure agents against arsenicals

open access: yesSLAS Discovery
Warfare arsenicals are potent blistering agents and cause severe inflammation following their skin exposure. Data from our group (unpublished) show that these chemicals act by activating bromodomain-4 and RIPK signaling.
