Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO-NPs) are widely used in the cosmetics, health, and food industries, but their safety and genotoxicity remain a matter of debate. We investigated whether TiO-NPs could induce gene mutations in mouse lymphoma L5178Y ...
Metallic nanoparticle based disinfection represents a promising approach for microbial pollution control in drinking water and thus, biosynthesis of non precious metal nanoparticles is of considerable interest. Herein, an original and efficient route...
Paraben is a phenolic derivative of benzoic acid extensively used as preservatives in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries due to its antimicrobial characteristics. The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro genotoxic effects o...
Word models (natural language descriptions of molecular mechanisms) are a common currency in spoken and written communication in biomedicine but are of limited use in predicting the behavior of complex biological networks. We present an approach to b...
