Serous Cystadenoma: A Review on Diagnosis and Management.

Incidental pancreatic cysts are highly prevalent, with management dependent on the risk of malignant progression. Serous cystadenomas (SCAs) are the most common benign pancreatic cysts seen on imaging. They have typical morphological patterns but may also show atypical features that mimic precancerous and cancerous cysts.

The expression of Phase II drug-metabolizing enzymes in human B-lymphoblastoid TK6 cells.

In vitro genotoxicity testing plays an important role in chemical risk assessment. The human B-lymphoblastoid cell line TK6 is widely used as a standard cell line for regulatory safety evaluations. Like many other mammalian cell lines, TK6 cells have limited metabolic capacity; therefore, usually require a source of exogenous metabolic activation for use in genotoxicity testing.

Actein contributes to black cohosh extract-induced genotoxicity in human TK6 cells.

Black cohosh extract (BCE) is one of the most popular botanical products for relieving menopausal symptoms. However, recent studies indicate that BCE is not only ineffective for menopausal therapy but also induces genotoxicity through an aneugenic mode of action (MoA). In this study, the cytotoxicity of five constituents of BCE was evaluated in human lymphoblastoid TK6 cells.
