Background: TAR-DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP43), is a pathologic marker in neurodegenerative diseases including frontotemporal lobar degeneration and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The aggregation of TDP-43, a crucial RNA-binding protein, is a consequence of post-translational modifications (PTMs) that disrupt its normal function. PTMs such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination contribute to the aberrant accumulation of TDP-43 aggregates, leading to neurodegenerative disorders like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).

This study aimed to investigate the tissue-specific accumulation patterns of arsenic (As) and the potential toxicological effects of As on the oviposition of a globally distributed aquatic invertebrate, the apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata). An eight-compartment physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was utilized to simulate the distribution and depuration kinetics of arsenite and arsenate in the snails. Modeling and biotransformation suggested that intestine-stomach was the main uptake site for As and plays an important role in maintaining the balance of As species.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide. A common approach to cancer treatment in clinical practice is to use a combination of drugs to enhance the anticancer activity of drugs while reducing their side effects. In this regard, we evaluated the effectiveness of combined treatment with gemcitabine (GCB) and arsenic (ATO) and how they affect the cell death pathway in cancer cells.

Arsenic exposure can induce liver insulin resistance (IR) and diabetes (DM), but the underlying mechanisms are not yet clear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the regulation of the onset of diabetes, especially in the progression of IR. This study aimed to investigate the role of circRNAs in arsenic-induced hepatic IR and its underlying mechanism.

Contained arsenic (As) and unsafe brackish groundwater irrigation can lead to serious As pollution and increase the ecological risk in cultivated soils. However, little is known about how Fe oxides and microbes affect As migration during soil irrigation processes involving arsenic-contaminated brackish groundwater. In this study, the samples (porewater and soil) were collected through the dynamic soil column experiments to explore the As migration process and its effect factors during soil irrigation.
