From waste to reuse: Fenton degradation of anticancer drugs in hospital wastewater using iron mining residue

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The heterogeneous photo‐Fenton process demands stable and efficient materials as catalysts to decompose hydrogen peroxide and generate reactive oxygen species to promote the degradation of organic contaminants in wastewater. In this study, the catalytic activity of an iron mining residue (IMR) was investigated for the heterogeneous ...

Prenatal Diagnosis and Prognostic Factors in Fetuses With Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita—A Systematic Review

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) is characterized by the presence of multiple joint contractures in the fetus' body. The diagnosis of arthrogryposis is complex and often missed prenatally. This comprehensive review of the literature published over the last 20 years, with an emphasis on the role of prenatal ultrasound in predicting postnatal ...

In Vitro Micropatterned Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Test (µP-hPST) for Morphometric-Based Teratogen Screening

Scientific Reports, 2017
Exposure to teratogenic chemicals during pregnancy may cause severe birth defects. Due to high inter-species variation of drug responses as well as financial and ethical burdens, despite the widely use of in vivo animal tests, it’s crucial to develop ...

The disintegrin echistatin in combination with doxorubicin targets high-metastatic human osteosarcoma overexpressing ανβ3 integrin in chick embryo and nude mouse models. [PDF]

, 2016
Echistatin, a cyclic RGD peptide, which is an antagonist of αvβ3 integrin (disintegrin), inhibited human osteosarcoma in the chick chorioallontoic membrane (CAM) model and tumor growth and pulmonary metastases in a nude mouse orthotopic model.

In vitro screening assay for teratogens using growth inhibition of human embryonic cells.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1985
We have tested 35 teratogenic and 20 nonteratogenic chemicals or drugs in a short-term, in vitro assay that identifies teratogens by their ability to inhibit growth of an established line of human embryonic palatal mesenchymal cells. Only those chemicals
