Binding occupational exposure limits for carcinogens in the EU – good or bad?
Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2019 The European Union (EU) has increased its efforts to counteract cancer due to occupational exposure. This is done by several means, including more active use and revision of the Carcinogen Directive (1), launch of the Roadmap on Carcinogens (2) and the ...

From GWAS to transcriptomics in prospective cancer design - new statistical challenges [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Background. With the increasing interest in post-GWAS research which represents a transition from genome-wide association discovery to analysis of functional mechanisms, attention has been lately focused on the potential of including various biological material in epidemiological studies.

Nanoscale intracellular mass-density alteration as a signature of the effect of alcohol on early carcinogenesis: A transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Alcohol consumption interferes with the functioning of multiple organ systems, causing changes in the chemistry, physiology and pathology of tissues and cellular organelles. Although epigenetic modifications underlie the development of cancer, exposure to carcinogenic chemicals, such as alcohol, can also contribute to disease development.

Modeling and simulation of a low grade urinary bladder carcinoma [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 In this work, we present a mathematical model of the initiation and progression of a low-grade urinary bladder carcinoma. We simulate the crucial processes involved in tumor growth, such as oxygen diffusion, carcinogen penetration, and angiogenesis, within the framework of the urothelial cell dynamics.

Superior-catalytic performance of Ni-Co Layered double hydroxide nanosheets for the reduction of p-nitrophenol [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Layered double-hydroxides (LDHs) are superior to the conventional (Transition Metal Oxides) TMOs as their lamellar morphology accommodates higher active sites contributing to the facile electron transfer towards the material degradation relations, thus attracts an immense attention for catalysis application.

Population health risk related to increased content of benzpyrene in soil
Analiz Riska Zdorovʹû, 2017 The article deals with the problem of soil contamination with benzpyrene within sanitary-hygienic zone of an oil refinery plant. We proved that benzpyrene penetrated into soils due to oil-containing wastes and sedimentation of polycyclic aromatic ...

An integrated in vitro carcinogenicity test that distinguishes between genotoxic carcinogens, non-genotoxic carcinogens, and non-carcinogens [PDF]
MutagenesisAbstract Chemical safety testing plays a crucial role in product and pharmacological development, as well as chemoprevention; however, in vitro genotoxicity safety tests do not always accurately predict the chemicals that will be in vivo carcinogens.
