The timeless tale of Snow White, with its emphasis on fair skin as a beauty ideal, mirrors a contemporary issue in nephrology: the harmful impact of skin-whitening creams on kidney health. Fairness creams have deeply embedded themselves in global society, driven by a pervasive obsession with lighter skin tones as a symbol of beauty. This widespread use reflects deeply rooted cultural beliefs and social norms, despite the significant health risks associated with these products.

Background: Exploring the adaptive responses of onions (Allium cepa L.) to salinity reveals a critical challenge for this salt-sensitive crop. While previous studies have concentrated on the effects of sodium (Na), this research highlights the substantial yet less-explored impact of chloride (Cl) accumulation.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a long-chain legacy congener of the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) family, notorious as a "forever chemical" owing to its environmental persistence and toxic nature. Essential elements such as zinc (Zn) can cause toxic effects when they change their metal speciation and become bioavailable, such as zinc sulfate (ZnSO). Combined toxicity assessment is a realistic approach and a challenging task to evaluate chemical interactions and associated risks.

Methods: Our proposed Toxicity Adaptive Lists Design (TALE) is straightforward to implement, requiring the prespecification of a small number of parameters that define rules governing dose escalation, de-escalation, or reassessment of previously explored dose levels. These rules effectively regulate dose exploration and control the number of toxicities.
