Exploring the Role of Acrylamide in Food Allergy via Dendritic Cell‐Dependent Th2 Immune Responses
Acrylamide may disrupt immune tolerance as a foodborne immunotoxicant, priming allergic inflammatory susceptibility through DC‐dependent Th2/Th17 polarization, TLR4/NF‐κB signaling amplification, and IL‐10 production suppression. ABSTRACT Acrylamide (AA), a prevalent food processing contaminant with recognized multi‐organ toxicity, has an unexplored ...

Immunotoxins: Targeted Toxin Delivery for Cancer Therapy
Immunotoxins are proteins that consist of a protein toxin conjugated to a specific targeting moiety. The targeting moiety is usually an antibody or ligand, such as monoclonal antibody, antibody fragment, a cytokine, or a growth factor. The toxins usually

Botulinum neurotoxin type C protease induces apoptosis in differentiated human neuroblastoma cells [PDF]
Neuroblastomas constitute a major cause of cancer-related deaths in young children. In recent years, a number of translation-inhibiting enzymes have been evaluated for killing neuroblastoma cells. Here we investigated the potential vulnerability of human

Bifenthrin Under Scrutiny: Revisiting Toxicological Evidence Amid Regulatory Gaps
ABSTRACT Despite growing health concerns, bifenthrin (BF) remains widely used for controlling agricultural and residential pests. However, different perspectives on its toxicological profile and regulatory framework warrant a revisit and update on BF regulation towards a robust risk‐safety assessment.

Targeting Receptors on Cancer Cells with Protein Toxins
Cancer cells frequently upregulate surface receptors that promote growth and survival. These receptors constitute valid targets for intervention. One strategy involves the delivery of toxic payloads with the goal of killing those cancer cells with high ...
