Polymer-Supported Oxidovanadium(IV) Complexes and Their Catalytic Applications in One-Pot Multicomponent Reactions Producing Biologically Active 2,4,5-Trisubstituted-1H-imidazoles
(MDPI, 2023-03-19)[Abstract] Two new monobasic tridentate O⁀N⁀N donor ligands, HL1 (I) and HL2 (II) have been obtained in two steps by reacting phenylhydrazine and salicylaldehyde or 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde and then reacting the ... -
Salivary Leucocytes as In Vitro Model to Evaluate Nanoparticle-Induced DNA Damage
(MDPI, 2021-07-27)[Abstract] Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have a wide variety of applications in many consumer products and biomedical practices. As a result, human exposure to these nanomaterials is highly frequent, becoming an issue ... -
Sequence characterization of the 5S ribosomal DNA and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in four European Donax species (Bivalvia: Donacidae)
(BioMed Central, 2018)[Abstract] Background: The whole repeat unit of 5S rDNA and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of four European Donax species were analysed. After amplifying, cloning and sequencing several 5S and ITS units, their basic ... -
Solution-State Cooperative Luminescence Upconversion in Molecular Ytterbium Dimers
(Wiley, 2023)[Abstract] Two homometallic ytterbium dimers are prepared and their solution-state photoluminescence and upconversion properties are investigated. Both complexes exhibit two-photon cooperative luminescence upconversion in ... -
Suitability of Salivary Leucocytes to Assess DNA Repair Ability in Human Biomonitoring Studies by the Challenge-Comet Assay
(Elsevier, 2022)[Abstract] The challenge-comet assay is a simple but effective approach that provides a quantitative and functional determination of DNA repair ability, and allows to monitor the kinetics of repair process. Peripheral blood ... -
Suitability of the In Vitro Cytokinesis-Block Micronucleus Test for Genotoxicity Assessment of TiO2 Nanoparticles on SH-SY5Y Cells
(2021)[Abstract] Standard toxicity tests might not be fully adequate for evaluating nanomaterials since their unique features are also responsible for unexpected interactions. The in vitro cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) ... -
The Centennial Collection of VDR Ligands: Metabolites, Analogs, Hybrids and Non-Secosteroidal Ligands [Review]
(MDPI, 2022-11-21)[Abstract] Since the discovery of vitamin D a century ago, a great number of metabolites, analogs, hybrids and nonsteroidal VDR ligands have been developed. An enormous effort has been made to synthesize compounds which ... -
The hCOMET Project: International Database Comparison of Results with the Comet Assay in Human Biomonitoring. Baseline Frequency of DNA Damage and Effect of Main Confounders
(2021)[Abstract] The alkaline comet assay, or single cell gel electrophoresis, is one of the most popular methods for assessing DNA damage in human population. One of the open issues concerning this assay is the identification ... -
The Marine Toxin Okadaic Acid Induces Alterations in the Expression Level of Cancer-Related Genes in Human Neuronal Cells
(Elsevier, 2013-04-03)[Abstract] Okadaic acid (OA) is one of the most common and highly distributed marine toxins. It can be accumulated in several molluscs and other marine organisms and cause acute gastrointestinal symptoms after oral consumption ... -
The Organic Selenium Compound Selenomethionine Modulates Bleomycin-Induced DNA Damage and Repair in Human Leukocytes
(Springer, 2009-05-08)[Abstract] The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of selenomethionine (SeMet) on the induction, repair, and persistence of DNA damage in human leukocytes challenged with bleomycin (BLM). Comet assay was ... -
Vitamin D and Its Synthetic Analogs
(ACS Publications, 2019)[Abstract] For many individuals, in particular during winter, supplementation with the secosteroid vitamin D3 is essential for the prevention of bone disorders, muscle weakness, autoimmune diseases, and possibly also ... -
γH2AX as a Marker of DNA Double Strand Breaks and Genomic Instability in Human Population Studies [Review]
(Elsevier, 2013-02-13)[Abstract] DNA double strand breaks (DSB) are the gravest form of DNA damage in eukaryotic cells. Failure to detect DSB and activate appropriate DNA damage responses can cause genomic instability, leading to tumorigenesis ...
