Gene expression biomarkers have the potential to identify genotoxic and non-genotoxic carcinogens, providing opportunities for integrated testing and reducing animal use. In August 2022, an International Workshops on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT) workshop was held to critically review current methods to identify genotoxicants using transcriptomic profiling. Here, we summarize the findings of the workgroup on the state of the science regarding the use of transcriptomic biomarkers to identify genotoxic chemicals in vitro and in vivo.

Dysregulation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) signaling has prompted efforts to develop therapeutic agents, which is a carcinogenic driver of many cancers, including breast, prostate, bladder, and chronic myeloid leukemia. Despite significant progress in the development of potent and selective FGFR inhibitors, the long-term efficacy of these drugs in cancer therapy has been hampered by the rapid onset of acquired resistance. Therefore, more drug discovery strategies are needed to promote the development of FGFR-targeted drugs.

Introduction: Potassium bromate (KBrO) is an oxidizing agent added to flour to improve bread quality. However, KBrO is nephrotoxic, and a class B carcinogen banned in most countries, including Ghana.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the residual KBrO concentration in bread and to estimate the chemical and carcinogenic risk that is associated with the consumption of these breads in Ghana.
