Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.

Policy Entrepreneurs and the Design of Administrative Reform: A Conceptual Framework and the Israeli Case

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT What is the role of policy entrepreneurs in promoting the design of public administrative reform? We present a conceptual framework for assessing the influence of policy entrepreneurs on public administrative reform. We start by proposing a typology of the various policy entrepreneurs active in the administrative reform arena.

Advances in Double‐Stranded DNA Targeting Technologies

Exploration, EarlyView.
Double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) plays a crucial role in genetic information storage and disease management, but its inherent stability limits access to internal bases. To overcome this challenge, various high‐specificity molecular targeting technologies have been developed to destabilize the DNA structure.

Functional Bread From Bambara Groundnut and Orange Peel Attenuates Hyperglycemia and Oxidative Stress in a High‐Fat Diet/Streptozotocin‐Induced Type 2 Diabetes Rat Model

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
This study evaluated Bambara groundnut–wheat composite bread fortified with orange peel in diabetic rats. Diets significantly lowered blood glucose, inhibited α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase, and boosted antioxidant enzymes compared to controls. Results emphasize BG‐based functional foods' potential to help manage type 2 diabetes through regulation of ...

Evaluation of Agave angustifolia as a Sustainable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides: Phytochemical Composition and Multi‐Trophic Bioactivity

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
The pesticidal potential of Agave angustifolia by assessing its anti‐nematic, antimicrobial, and insecticidal activities, alongside phytochemical profiling. ABSTRACT Plant diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and viruses contribute significantly to annual crop losses and economic hardship. Reliance on chemical pesticides, over a thousand used

Amino‐functionalized lanthanide metal‐organic frameworks encapsulating boron‐doped graphene quantum dots: A paper based fluorescent sensor to visual detection of salicylic acid

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Salicylic acid (SA), a widely distributed environmental pollutant, requires accurate detection for effective water quality monitoring and ecological protection. In this work, we developed a highly sensitive fluorescent sensor by encapsulating boron‐doped graphene quantum dots (B‐GQDs) within amino‐functionalized lanthanum‐based metal‐organic ...
