AHR‐Responsive Carbon Dots Orchestrate Skin Wound Healing and Colonic Mucosal Repair via Treg‐Mediated Macrophage Efferocytosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Guided by pharmacophore modeling and molecular docking, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR)‐responsive carbon dots were synthesized. They bind directly to AHR and expand gut‐resident regulatory T (Treg) cells. Treg‐derived C‐C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CCL1) enhances macrophage efferocytosis, creating a pro‐regenetative niche that promotes colonic mucosal ...

Data‐Driven Pathways to Circular E‐Waste Management

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the volume and complexity of electronic waste grow worldwide, regional and subnational systems are increasingly tasked with managing the environmental, economic, and social challenges of circular resource recovery. This paper focuses on Canada's e‐waste sector to examine how circular economy (ce) principles can be integrated into regional ...

Sex-specific effects of perinatal dioxin exposure on eating behavior in 3-year-old Vietnamese children

BMC Pediatrics, 2018
Background We previously reported that perinatal dioxin exposure increased autistic traits in children living in dioxin-contaminated areas of Vietnam.

Mechanistic Insights Into Luminol Chemiexcitation: The Role of the Amide Carbonyls

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
By means of quantum‐chemical calculations, we demonstrate that the 1,2‐dioxin ring forms following nitrogen release from parent luminol. We also identify alkoxide groups derived from the amide carbonyls of luminol as key enhancers of the chemiexcitation yield.

Induction of Semaphorin 3A by Resveratrol and Pinostilbene via Activation of the AHR-NRF2 Axis in Human Keratinocytes

Antioxidants
Semaphorin 3A (SEMA3A), a nerve-repellent factor produced by keratinocytes, has an inhibitory effect on nerve extension to the epidermis. Epidermal innervation is involved in pruritus in inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD) and dry ...

Exploring the Role of Competitiveness in Sustainability Standards: Insights From an Animal Welfare Scheme Adopted by Supermarkets

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on supermarket‐related voluntary sustainability standards (VSSs) is divided on whether competition helps or hinders efforts to reduce negative social and environmental impacts. This paper examines how the standardization process shapes these outcomes.

Impacts of dioxin exposure on brain connectivity estimated by DTI analysis of MRI images in men residing in contaminated areas of Vietnam

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionEffects of dioxin exposure on gray matter volume have been reported in previous studies, but a few studies reported effects of dioxin exposure on white matter structure. Therefore, this study was undertaken to investigate the impact of dioxin

The Vernix Caseosa is the Main Site of Dioxin Excretion in the Human Foetus

Scientific Reports, 2017
Dioxins are highly toxic to foetuses and prenatal exposure leads to adverse health effects; however, the metabolic pathways involved in dioxin excretion are poorly understood. We determined the dynamics of maternal-to-foetal dioxin transfer during normal

Occurrence of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and Dibenzofurans and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Fruit and Vegetables from the “Land of Fires” Area of Southern Italy

Toxics, 2017
The concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-concentrations dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) (PCDD/Fs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were determined in fruit and vegetables collected in farms located in the well-known ...

Dynamic zebrafish interactome reveals transcriptional mechanisms of dioxin toxicity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
In order to generate hypotheses regarding the mechanisms by which 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin) causes toxicity, we analyzed global gene expression changes in developing zebrafish embryos exposed to this potent toxicant in the context of a
