BackgroundWidely accepted somatic mutation theory of carcinogenesis states that mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in genomes of somatic cells is the cause of neoplastic transformation.

Environmental Drivers of Malignant Clonal Selection in Precancerous Lesion Evolution
ABSTRACT Somatic mutations accumulation and subsequent malignant clonal selection are the processes that lead to cancer. The intricacy includes exposure to carcinogens as well as the ways in which these exposures interact with genetic, polygenic, or epigenetic predispositions.

UV radiation (UV) is classified as a “complete carcinogen” because it is both a mutagen and a non-specific damaging agent and has properties of both a tumor initiator and a tumor promoter.

Photodynamic therapy of cancer‐associated infections
Pathogens can be involved in tumor initiation, promotion and progression through different mechanisms, and their treatment can prevent new cancer cases, improve outcomes, and revert poor‐prognostic phenotypes. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) successfully treats different types of cancers and infections, and, therefore, has a unique potential to address ...

The Drought-Stress Response of a Drought Resistant Impatiens Processed in PEG-6000 Solution in a Simulation Test [PDF]
Premise of the Study: Impatiens is a commonly seen garden flower, renowned for its strong adaptability and long history of cultivation. However, seldom has any research touched on its physiological resistance mechanism. In this experiment, the impatiens is selected from those which experienced aerospace mutation and thereafter 12 years of cultivation ...

Several lines of evidence indicate that diet and dietary behaviors can contribute to human cancer risk. One way that this occurs is through the ingestion of food mutagens. Sporadic cancers result from a gene-environment interactions where the environment includes endogenous and exogenous exposures.

Abstract The flowering time (FTi) plays a critical role in the reproductive success and yield of various crop species by directly impacting both the quality and quantity of grain yield. Achieving optimal FTi is crucial for maximizing reproductive success and ensuring overall agricultural productivity.

Using Rigidity Analysis to Probe Mutation-Induced Structural Changes in Proteins [PDF]
Predicting the effect of a single amino acid substitution on the stability of a protein structure is a fundamental task in macromolecular modeling. It has relevance to drug design and understanding of disease-causing protein variants.

ABSTRACT N‐Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a known water disinfection byproduct (DBP) characterized as a potent hepatotoxin, promutagen, and probable human carcinogen; this is because of the metabolites associated with its biotransformation. The metabolism of NDMA produces formaldehyde, another alkylating agent and DBP. Both compounds are generated from
