Environmental pollution poses a significant risk to public health, as demonstrated by the bioaccumulation of aluminum (Al) in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate the potential mutagenic effect of Al bioaccumulation in CRC samples, linking it to the alteration of key mediators of cancer progression, including immune response biomarkers. Aluminum levels in 20 CRC biopsy samples were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

- - Environmental pollution significantly threatens human health, especially in relation to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), as highlighted through various studies.
- - Epidemiological research shows a clear link between exposure to various pollutants (air, water, soil) and an increased risk of conditions like hypertension and stroke, while molecular studies identify mechanisms like oxidative stress and inflammation as contributing factors.
- - The review emphasizes the need to understand these connections for developing effective interventions and policies aimed at reducing pollution's negative impacts on cardiovascular health, underscoring the importance of preventive measures for public health.
Article Synopsis
- Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is gaining popularity in orthopedic practices for promoting healing, including improving blood vessel formation and aiding in bone recovery.
- There are various factors, like wavelength and energy density, that can affect how LLLT works at the cellular level, and its impact can vary depending on the type of cells being treated.
- This review seeks to clarify the molecular pathways involved in LLLT's effect on bone healing, aiming to enhance its clinical use.
