Studies on gender-specific disruption of bone tissue homeostasis by dioxins [PDF]
Dioxins are widespread environmental pollutants, known to cause immunosuppression, developmental and reproductive defects, as well as cancer. The toxic effects of dioxins are mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR, also referred to as the ...

This study reports six new copper(I) complexes with unusual coordination and strong anticancer activity against a panel of human cancer cell lines derived from different solid tumors. The most active compounds outperform cisplatin, even in resistant cells, by inhibiting protein disulfide isomerase and inducing redox stress that triggers non‐apoptotic ...

Exposure to Endocrine Disruptors and Nuclear Receptors Gene Expression in Infertile and Fertile Men from Italian Areas with Different Environmental Features [PDF]
Internal levels of selected endocrine disruptors (EDs) (i.e., perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), di-2-ethylhexyl-phthalate (DEHP), mono-(2-ethylhexyl)-phthalate (MEHP), and bisphenol A (BPA)) were analyzed in blood/serum of ...

The Asymmetric Self‐Replicative Alkylation of N‐Arylaldimines Using Organolithium Reagents
Here, we report a new asymmetric autoinductive reaction; the addition of nBuLi to N‐arylaldimines to form chiral lithium amides. The reaction proceeds with full conversion and complete transfer of chirality, representing the first example of an asymmetric autoinductive reaction with organolithium reagents.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Molecular Targets of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) within the Zebrafish Ovary: Insights into TCDD-induced Endocrine Disruption and Reproductive Toxicity [PDF]
TCDD is a reproductive toxicant and endocrine disruptor, yet the mechanisms by which it causes these reproductive alterations are not fully understood.

Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...

In utero tobacco smoke exposure, DNA methylation, and asthma in Latino children. [PDF]
BackgroundMaternal smoking during pregnancy is a risk factor for chronic disease later in life and has been associated with variability of DNA methylation at specific cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) loci.
