HARMLESS Early Warning System for Advanced Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The HARMLESS Early Warning System tackles Advanced Materials (AdMa) risk governance by providing a framework, organised in two tiers, underpinned with methods/tools to support risk assessors in the pre‐assessment preceding risk assessment. It allows for initial screening to identify AdMa with concerns considering exposure, hazards, sustainability and ...

EFFECT OF GRADEN CRESS (Lepidium sativum) ON CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATIONS AND ITS ANTI - EFFECT ON INDUCTION OF CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATIONS IN WHITE MICE BONE MARROW CELLS USING SHORT – TERM TESTS [PDF]

open access: yesMesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2009
Effect of garden cress Lepidium sativum (a cruciferous plant) on induction of chromosomal aberrations in bone marrow cells of white mice was studied , in addition to its effect to reverse the chromosomal aberrations induced by drug cyclophosphamide (Cp).

Risk assessment, and carcinogen mutagen for workers potentially exposed in the research laboratories of “Sapienza” University of Rome for Health Surveillance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The following work is meant to represent the evaluation of risk factors for the health of exposed workers, arising from the management of carcinogenic and mutagenic substances, through the use of algorithms.

POLE Deficiency Exacerbates Diesel Engine Exhaust‐Induced Genomic Instability and Malignant Transformation of Bronchial Epithelial Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes a diesel engine exhaust (DEE)‐induced malignant transformation model in bronchial epithelial cells. Whole genome sequencing(WGS) and RNA‐seq reveal DEE‐induced mutational signatures and gene expression profiles. Mechanistically, DEEaffect polymerase epsilon (POLE) and mismatch repair, driving genomic instability and promoting ...

Mathematical models of tissue stem and transit target cell divisions and the risk of radiation- or smoking-associated cancer. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2017
There is compelling biological data to suggest that cancer arises from a series of mutations in single target cells, resulting in defects in cell renewal and differentiation processes which lead to malignancy.

Enhanced Production of Astaxanthin and Zeaxanthin by Paracoccus Sp. LL1 Through Random Mutagenesis

open access: yesBiotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Astaxanthin, a high‐value carotenoid with potent antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities, is increasingly in demand in various industries. This study reports the successful enhancement of astaxanthin and zeaxanthin production in Paracoccus sp. LL1 through random mutagenesis using ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS).

The mutagenicity and anti-mutagenicity effect of aqueous leaves extract of Vinca rosea by bacterial system (Part one)

open access: yesمجلة مركز بحوث التقنيات الاحيائية, 2015
This study was carried out in order to determine the toxic, mutagenic and anti-mutagenic effects for aqueous extract of Vinca rosea dried leaves against the mutagenic effect of Methotrexate (MTX) as a chemical mutagen and Ultra Violet rays (UV) as a ...

The Rosetteless gene controls development in the choanoflagellate S. rosetta. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The origin of animal multicellularity may be reconstructed by comparing animals with one of their closest living relatives, the choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta.

Intergenerational Enlargement of Human Organs as a Driver of Increased Cancer Risk?

open access: yesBioEssays, EarlyView.
Identifying the environmental factors and associated mechanisms driving increased cancer incidence in younger generations is a matter of great urgency. Here, we propose and discuss a new potential mechanism: larger organ sizes in younger individuals resulting from intergenerational differences in lifestyle, diet, and environmental exposures.

Size matters: sequential mutations in tumorigenesis may reflect the stochastic effect of mutagen target sizes.

open access: yesGenes & cancer, 2011
We tallied the number of possible mutant amino acids in proteins thought to be inactivated early in tumorigenesis and in proteins thought to be inactivated late in tumorigenesis, respectively. Proteins thought to be inactivated early in tumorigenesis, on
