Cellular Stress, Inflammation and Barrier Damage in Gut Epithelial Cells Caused by Aspartame
Allergy, EarlyView.This study shows that aspartame, at dietary‐relevant doses, induces cytotoxicity, cellular distress associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress, DNA replication and repair mechanism disturbance culminating in epithelial barrier damage.

Exposures in Indoor Air Affecting Health
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Indoor air quality (IAQ) is influenced by a wide range of chemical, biological and physical agents that can negatively impact physical, immunological and mental health. Adverse health effects depend on the type and concentration of pollutants, duration of exposure, and individual susceptibility.

Progeny of Germ Line Knockouts of \u3cem\u3eASI2\u3c/em\u3e, a Gene Encoding a Putative Signal Transduction Receptor in \u3cem\u3eTetrahymena Thermophila\u3c/em\u3e, Fail to Make the Transition from Sexual Reproduction to Vegetative Growth [PDF]
, 2006 The ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena has two nuclei: a germ line micronucleus and a somatic macronucleus. The transcriptionally active macronucleus has about 50 copies of each chromosome.

Cancer Science, EarlyView.MASTL drives hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression and paclitaxel resistance by triggering mitotic catastrophe. Depletion of MASTL induces DNA damage and promotes mitotic catastrophe, leading to cell death in HCC. MASTL‐mediated mitotic catastrophe depends on PP2A‐B55α activity, suggesting a novel therapeutic target for overcoming chemotherapy ...
