Synergistic Cytotoxicity of Permethrin and N,N‐Diethyl‐Meta‐Toluamide on Sinonasal Epithelial Cells

OTO Open, Volume 9, Issue 3, July-September 2025.
Abstract N,N‐Diethyl‐meta‐toluamide (DEET) and permethrin are pesticides commonly used in combination due to their synergistic insecticidal and repellent properties. This study investigates whether simultaneous exposure to these compounds elicits synergistic cytotoxicity in sinonasal epithelial cells (SNECs).

DEET occurrence in wastewaters: Seasonal, spatial and diurnal variability - mismatches between consumption data and environmental detection

Environment International, 2019
DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) is one of the most frequently detected trace organic contaminants (TOrC) in wastewaters and is used primarily as an insect repellent. It was introduced for use in the general public in 1957.

Standard Protocols for Characterising Primary and In Vitro‐Generated Human Hepatocytes

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 3, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Hepatocyte‐like cells (HLCs) derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) or direct reprogramming are an unlimited source of human hepatocytes for biomedical applications. HLCs are used to model human diseases, develop precise drugs and establish groundbreaking regenerative cell‐based therapies.

Binary mixtures of Vanderbilt University allosteric agonist thermolysis components act as volatile spatial repellents for malaria vector mosquitoes

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 1, Page 185-195, January 2025.
Vanderbilt University allosteric agonists hyper‐stimulate odorant receptor co‐receptors and raise the potential for the development of novel spatial repellents for vector/pest management. Thermolysis‐derived volatile VUAA‐based active ingredients yield high repellency in mobility‐based behavioral assays.

In the arm-in-cage test, topical repellents activate mosquitoes to disengage upon contact instead of repelling them at distance

Scientific Reports
Topical repellents provide protection against mosquito bites and their efficacy is often assessed using the arm-in-cage test. The arm-in-cage test estimates the repellent’s protection time by exposing a repellent-treated forearm to host-seeking ...
