Developing the Dopamine D3 Receptor (D3R) Antagonist, (R)‐VK4‐116, as a Non‐Opioid Medication for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Opioid use disorder (OUD) remains a major global health challenge, and currently approved treatments (methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone) are all opioid receptor‐targeting drugs with limitations in access, adherence, stigma, and use in polysubstance use disorders. Because the dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is enriched in limbic brain regions

Micronuclei and Other Nuclear Abnormalities in Patella Limpet as Biomarkers of Cytogenotoxicity in Recreational Port Waters

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past decades, the growth in human population and economic activities has led to an increase in maritime traffic. This rise puts additional pressure on marine environments, vessel fuel spills being considered to have a major impact on the ecosystem.

Cytogenotoxic Effects of Fluopyram in Allium cepa Root Cells Involving Microtubule Disruption

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluopyram is a next‐generation fungicide widely used in agriculture; however, its persistence in soils and mobility toward aquatic systems have raised concerns regarding potential ecotoxicological risks. This study evaluated the cytogenotoxic effects of a commercial fluopyram‐based pesticide formulation on Allium cepa root meristem cells ...

Cytogenotoxic and Molecular Assessment of Pyrethrins on Non‐Target Allium cepa Roots

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pyrethrins, which form a part of naturally occurring insecticidal chemicals derived from chrysanthemum flowers, not only provide rapid knockdown of a broad spectrum of insect pests but are also widely used in integrated pest management due to a generally favorable safety profile, largely attributed to low mammalian toxicity.

Trace Levels of Triclosan May Affect Root Growth and Morphology in Cultivated Plants

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triclosan (TCS) is a micropollutant frequently detected in biosolids applied to agricultural soils. In soil solution—where it is potentially bioavailable to roots—it occurs at residual concentrations (ng L−1). Nevertheless, the ecotoxicological implications of TCS exposure in agricultural crops at these concentrations are still not fully ...

Micronucleus-Specific DNA Sequences in an Amicronucleate Mutant of Tetrahymena

, 1984
DNA from the amicronucleate Tetrahymena cell line BI3840 was probed for DNA sequences which are limited to the micronucleus in wild-type cells. Four micronucleus-specific DNA sequences were not detectable in DNA from the amicronucleate cell line.

Chromosomal and immune dysregulation underlying granular mitosis in glioblastoma

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Granular mitosis (GM) morphology is linked to PI3K/PTEN pathway alterations, chromosomal disorganization, and impaired innate immunity. Cells exhibiting GM morphology are associated with localized immune responses within their immediate spatial microenvironment.

Assessment of the genetic risks of a metallic alloy used in medical implants

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2011
The use of artificial implants provides a palliative or permanent solution for individuals who have lost some bodily function through disease, an accident or natural wear. This functional loss can be compensated for by the use of medical devices produced
