Assessment of heavy metal(loid)s contamination risk and grain nutritional quality in organic waste-amended soil
(2020)Studies that evaluate the human health risk of heavy metal(loid)s pollution have not been widely performed for organic waste-amended soils on the Loess Plateau of China. With this respect, we conducted a 3-year field trial ... -
Carbon nanotubes and other engineered nanoparticles induced pathophysiology on mesothelial cells and mesothelial membranes
(2018)Nanoparticles have great potential for numerous applications due to their unique physicochemical properties. However, concerns have been raised that they may induce deleterious effects on biological systems. There is ... -
Potential of the dual mTOR kinase inhibitor AZD2014 to overcome paclitaxel resistance in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma
(2018)Purpose: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is an aggressive, chemo-resistant malignancy. Chemo-resistance is often associated with changes in activity of the RAS/MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways and/or a high expression ... -
The role of MiRNA-21 in gliomas: Hope for a novel therapeutic intervention?
(2020)Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults. They are generally very resistant to treatment and are therefore associated with negative outcomes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that ... -
Tobacco-specific nitrosamines: A literature review
(2018)Cigarette smoke is a complex mixture of chemicals, including several tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA). Most TSNA are formed in tobacco during the post-harvest period, while a number are produced when a cigarette is ...
