Mill. Essential Oil: Analysis of In Vitro and In Vivo Genotoxic and Cytotoxic Potentials by Employing Three Cytogenetic Endpoints.

The highly valued oil of Mill. (Rosaceae), widely used in high perfumery, cosmetics, and other spheres of human life, obliges us to know and study the safety profile of the product obtained from the water-steam distillation of fresh rose petals. The genotoxicity of the essential oil (EsO) has not been thoroughly studied despite its wide range of applications.

Non-Viral Systems Based on PAMAM-Calix-Dendrimers for Regulatory siRNA Delivery into Cancer Cells.

Cancer is one of the most common diseases in developed countries. Recently, gene therapy has emerged as a promising approach to cancer treatment and has already entered clinical practice worldwide. RNA interference-based therapy is a promising method for cancer treatment.

Inflammatory Intracellular Signaling in Neurons Is Influenced by Glial Soluble Factors in iPSC-Based Cell Model of -Associated Parkinson's Disease.

Neuroinflammation is considered to be one of the driving factors in Parkinson's disease (PD). This study was conducted using neuronal and glial cell cultures differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) of healthy donors (HD) and PD patients with different mutations (PD). Based on the results of RNA sequencing, qPCR and ELISA, we revealed transcriptional and post-transcriptional changes in HD and PD neurons cultivated in HD and PD glial-conditioned medium.

Genotoxic and Anti-Genotoxic Potential of Hydrosols from Water-Steam Distillation of Oil-Bearing Roses L. and L. from Bulgaria.

L. and L. (Rosaceae) are grown as raw materials for valuable essential oils and hydrosols.

Hypervalent Sulfur Derivatives as Sulfenylating Reagents: Visible-Light-Mediated Direct Thiolation of Activated C(sp)-H Bonds with Dihalosulfuranes.

In contrast to hypervalent iodine compounds, the chemistry of their sulfur analogues has been considerably less explored. Herein, we report the direct C-H bond thiolation of electron-rich heterocycles, arenes, and 1,3-dicarbonyls by dichlorosulfuranes under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies and density functional theory calculations suggest the radical chain mechanism of the disclosed transformation.
