Genes are composed of DNA and each gene has a specific sequence. Recombination or replication within the gene base ends in a permanent change in the nucleotide collection in a DNA called mutation and some mutations can lead to cancer. Breast adenocar...

2-Methylfuran (2-MF) exists naturally in foods and is used as a flavoring agent. Furan, the core structure of 2-MF, possesses hepatocarcinogenicity in rodents. Accumulation of toxicological information on furan derivatives is needed to elucidate thei...
The genome of a eukaryotic cell is often vulnerable to both intrinsic and extrinsic threats owing to its constant exposure to a myriad of heterogeneous compounds. Despite the availability of innate DNA damage responses, some genomic lesions trigger m...

Carcinogenicity is one of the most critical endpoints for the risk assessment of food contact chemicals (FCCs). However, the carcinogenicity of FCCs remains insufficiently investigated. To fill the data gap, the application of standard experimental m...
Bhas 42 cell transformation assay (CTA) has been used to estimate the carcinogenic potential of chemicals by exposing Bhas 42 cells to carcinogenic stimuli to form colonies, referred to as transformed foci, on the confluent monolayer. Transformed foc...
In Tg-rasH2 carcinogenicity mouse models, a positive control group is treated with a carcinogen such as urethane or N-nitroso-N-methylurea to test study validity based on the presence of the expected proliferative lesions in the transgenic mice. We h...

Determining chemical carcinogenicity in the early stages of drug discovery is fundamentally important to prevent the adverse effect of carcinogens on human health. There has been a recent surge of interest in developing computational approaches to pr...
The prediction of compound cytotoxicity is an important part of the drug discovery process. However, it usually appears as poor predictive performance because the datasets are high-throughput and have a class-imbalance problem. In this study, several...

In vitro genotoxicity bioassays are cost-efficient methods of assessing potential carcinogens. However, many genotoxicity bioassays are inappropriate for detecting chemicals eliciting non-genotoxic mechanisms, such as tumour promotion, this necessita...
Carcinogenicity refers to a highly toxic end point of certain chemicals, and has become an important issue in the drug development process. In this study, three novel ensemble classification models, namely Ensemble SVM, Ensemble RF, and Ensemble XGBo...
