Statement on the findings presented in the Toxicological Profile for Mercury issued by the US ATSDR. [PDF]
Abstract The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was requested by the European Commission to deliver a statement on the findings presented in the Toxicological Profile for Mercury issued by the US Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) in 2024. The statement was endorsed by the CONTAM Panel before approval by EFSA. Although some key

Inhalation of 1-bromopropane alters hippocampal expression of pathways related to immune system/inflammation and insulin signaling in experimental rats [PDF]
1-Bromopropane, an alternative to ozone-depleting solvents, exhibits neurotoxicity in humans and rats. The aim of the present study was to identify the genes or signaling pathways involved in the neurotoxicity and hepatotoxicity of 1-bomopropane in two ...

Whole exome and transcript profiling of liver following aflatoxin B1 exposure in rats
Abstract We recently developed a rat whole exome sequencing (WES) panel and used it to evaluate early somatic mutations in archival liver tissues from F344/N rats exposed to the hepatocarcinogen, Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a widely studied, potent mutagen and hepatocarcinogen associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Efficient gene targeting by homologous recombination in rat embryonic stem cells.
The rat is the preferred experimental animal in many biological studies. With the recent derivation of authentic rat embryonic stem (ES) cells it is now feasible to apply state-of-the art genetic engineering in this species using homologous recombination.

Local vs. systemic administration of bisphosphonates in rat cleft bone graft: A comparative study.
A majority of patients with orofacial cleft deformity requires cleft repair through a bone graft. However, elevated amount of bone resorption and subsequent bone graft failure remains a significant clinical challenge.
