Genotoxic and mutagenic properties of Ni and NiO nanoparticles investigated by comet assay, γ‐H2AX staining, Hprt mutation assay and ToxTracker reporter cell lines

open access: yesEnvironmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, 2017
Nickel (Ni) compounds are classified as carcinogenic to humans but the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Furthermore, effects related to nanoparticles (NPs) of Ni have not been fully elucidated.

SenExo‐cCCT2 Reprograms Senescence Response and Anti‐Tumor Immunity Following FOLFIRINOX Chemotherapy in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that SenExo‐cCCT2 enables targeted delivery of cCCT2 to pancreatic cancer cells, where it disrupts IPO13‐mediated nuclear translocation of UBC9, impairing SUMOylation‐dependent DNA damage repair and inducing senescence. Senescent tumor cells secrete CXCL10 to recruit CD8⁺ T‐cells while upregulating PD‐L1.

Genotoxicity of TiO2 nanoparticles assessed by mini-gel comet assay and micronucleus scoring with flow cytometry

open access: yesMutagenesis, 2016
The widespread production and use of nanoparticles calls for faster and more reliable methods to assess their safety. The main aim of this study was to investigate the genotoxicity of three reference TiO2 nanomaterials (NM) within the frame of the FP7 ...

The Development and Validation of the Smell‐Qx Questionnaire, Based on a Systematic Review of the Literature and the COMET Initiative on the Development of Core Outcome Sets for Clinical Trials in Olfactory Disorders

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Olfactory dysfunction affects up to 22% of the population. Accurate assessment is vital for diagnosis and tracking outcomes, often using patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs). Aims We aimed to develop and validate a novel questionnaire for assessing olfactory and gustatory dysfunction.

OpenComet: An automated tool for comet assay image analysis

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2014
Reactive species such as free radicals are constantly generated in vivo and DNA is the most important target of oxidative stress. Oxidative DNA damage is used as a predictive biomarker to monitor the risk of development of many diseases.

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Approaches to repurposing reverse transcriptase antivirals in cancer

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This review highlights the role of reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibition in cellular regulation associated with non‐terminal repeat retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses. Based on their pleiotropic characteristics, RT inhibitors (RTIs) are discussed as potential anticancer agents.

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Evaluation of genotoxic activity of maleic hydrazide, ethyl methane sulfonate, and N-nitroso diethylamine in Tradescantia

open access: yesSalud Pública de México, 2001
Objective. To assess the genotoxic activity of N-nitroso diethylamine (NDEA), maleic hydrazide (MH), and ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) using two systems: the comet assay on nuclei from Tradescantia, and the pink mutation test on Tradescantia staminal ...
