Unveiling the mechanistic links between plasticizers and gastric cancer via network toxicology and molecular docking approaches [PDF]

BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology
Background This study explores the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of gastric cancer induced by plasticizers, with particular emphasis on the interactions between plasticizers and key genes and signaling pathways.

Structure and property of propellant based on nitroglycerine/glycerol triacetate mixed plasticizers: molecular dynamics simulation and experimental study

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
Molecular dynamics simulation has been used to investigate the influence of nitroglycerine (NG)/glycerol triacetate (GTA) mixed plasticizers on the plasticizing ability of nitrocellulose (NC) binder in solid propellant.

Study on compatibility mechanism of plasticizer and asphalt based on molecular dynamics

Materials & Design, 2023
This work aims to reveal the compatibility mechanism of different plasticizers with the base asphalt using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. For this purpose, four kinds of plasticizers were chosen, namely dioctyl phthalate (DOP), dioctyl adipate (DOA),

Plasticizers and Cardiovascular Health: Role of Adipose Tissue Dysfunction

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Since the 1950s, the production of plastics has increased 200-fold, reaching 360 million tonnes in 2019. Plasticizers, additives that modify the flexibility and rigidity of the product, are ingested as they migrate into food and beverages. Human exposure

The molecular mechanisms of plasticizers in rejuvenating oxidized asphalt: A preliminary study

Materials & Design, 2023
Plasticizers are common additives used to enhance the flexibility and workability of polymer materials. Recent findings suggest a great potential for typical plasticizers being used as rejuvenators to recycle oxidized paving asphalts.

Plasticity, plasticity, plasticity…and the rigid problem of sex [PDF]

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2013
Why is popular understanding of female–male differences still based on rigid models of development, even though contemporary developmental sciences emphasize plasticity? Is it because the science of sex differences still works from the same rigid models?

A Best-Evidence Review of Bio-based Plasticizer and the Effects on the Mechanical Properties of PLA

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2021
Polylactic Acid (PLA) plastics are currently used as food packaging material, textiles, and engineering plastics. However, PLA has its weaknesses, such as high brittleness and low toughness, limiting its application.

Integration of Biological Synthesis & Chemical Catalysis: Bio-based Plasticizer trans-Aconitates

Green Carbon, 2023
Plasticizers are essential to reduce processing difficulties and improve plastic properties. However, petroleum-based phthalate plasticizers, which are mostly used at present, urgently require alternatives due to their confirmed and serious health risks.

Association between Urinary Metabolites and the Exposure of Intensive Care Newborns to Plasticizers of Medical Devices Used for Their Care Management

Metabolites, 2021
Care management of newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) requires numerous PVC (PolyVinyl Chloride) medical devices (MD) containing plasticizers that can migrate and contaminate the patient.

Strategies for Exploiting Milk Protein Properties in Making Films and Coatings for Food Packaging: A Review

Foods, 2023
Biopolymers of different natures (carbohydrates, proteins, etc.) recovered from by-products of industrial processes are increasingly being studied to obtain biomaterials as alternatives to conventional plastics, thus contributing to the implementation of
