34 | CYTOTOXIC EFFECTS OF SICILIAN GRAPE SEED OILS ON CANCER CELLS

European Journal of Histochemistry
Given the increasing demand for natural compounds to prevent and treat chronic diseases like cancer and the sustainability of bioactive-rich winemaking by-products, seed oils from Sicilian white (WGSO) and red grapes (RGSO)1 were investigated for their ...

Air Pollution Quinones Impair Intestinal Barrier Integrity and Endoplasmic Reticulum in Differentiated Caco‐2 Cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Particulate matter (PM) is a major global health threat, linked to millions of deaths annually. Beyond inhalation, PM components reach the gastrointestinal tract through the mucociliary escalator or contaminated food and water. Among PM's organic fraction, redox‐active quinones such as 1,2‐naphthoquinone (NQ) and 9,10‐phenanthrenequinone (PQ ...

Modulation of Campylobacter jejuni adhesion to biotic model surfaces by fungal lectins and protease inhibitors

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Campylobacter jejuni, a Gram-negative bacterium, is one of the most common causes of foodborne illness worldwide. Its adhesion mechanism is mediated by several bacterial factors, including flagellum, protein adhesins, lipooligosaccharides, proteases, and

Cellular Toxicity of Short‐ and Long‐Term Exposures to Polystyrene Nanoplastics and Microplastics in Fish Skin Cell Derived From Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas)

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ubiquitous presence of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) is raising concerns about their impact on the health of humans and other living organisms. Due to its tiny size, this particle can accumulate and circulate in the body after uptake, resulting in a variety of harmful outcomes on the organism, such as increased oxidative stress and

Cytotoxic and Oxidative Effects of Common Pesticides on Hepatic and Renal Cell Lines (HepG2 and Hek‐293): Implications for Human Health and Environmental Safety

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern agricultural practices expose humans and the environment to numerous chemical pesticides. Increasing evidence suggests that commercial pesticide formulations may exhibit toxicological properties that differ from those of their active ingredients alone due to the presence of co‐formulants and additives. This study evaluated the cytotoxic

CO2 capture by accelerated weathering of limestone using waste limestone at elevated CO2 concentrations

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Accelerated weathering of limestone (AWL) using waste limestone (WL) for industrially relevant CO2 capture remains underexplored. Previous studies on potable water‐operated AWL have mainly examined idealised conditions, such as the use of high‐purity limestone or relatively low CO2 concentrations, which may not reflect selected ...

Interfacially Engineered Alginate/Hydroxyapatite Biocomposites With High Strength and Toughness

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Pre‐crosslinking alginate with Ca2+ prior to hydroxyapatite (HAP) formation reduces residual Ca2+ bridging and promotes stronger carboxylate‐hydroxyapatite interfacial interactions, yielding composites with markedly higher strength, stiffness, and toughness than those prepared by the opposite sequence.
