In this work, a novel electrochemical biosensor was fabricated based on modification of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with nafion-DNA/gold nanoparticles/poly-ethylenedioxy pyrrole/multi-walled carbon nanotubes-ionic liquid (NF-DNA/Au NPs/PEDOP/MWCNTs-IL/GCE) with the aim of amperometric detection of the DNA damage induced by thiram (TH). By incubation of the biosensor with the TH, the TH was intercalated within DNA, and the exposed DNA released negative charges at the surface of the biosensor which repelled the probe molecules and caused the amperometric response of the biosensor to be decreased. Protective effects of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on the DNA damage induced by the TH were investigated by recording amperometric responses of the biosensor in the presence of EVOO, and the results confirmed that the response of the biosensor didn't change to confirm the protective effects of the EVOO on preventing the DNA damage induced by the TH. A novel and sensitive electroanalytical method was developed for determination of the TH in two linear ranges including 1-6 pM and 7-10 pM based on amperometric detection of the DNA damage induced by the TH which gave a LOD of 0.31 pM. The developed methodology in this work was successful in detection of the DNA damage induced by TH, detection of protective effects of EVOO on preventing DNA damage and determination of the TH in real matrices.

Background: The incidence of skin cancer among Danes is one of the highest in the world. Most skin cancers are, however, avoidable with sun protection and reduction of exposure. One way to increase awareness could be through personal biofeedback information about skin DNA damage.

Mechanistic Monte Carlo simulations have proven invaluable in tackling complex challenges in radiobiology, for example for protecting astronauts from solar particle events (SPEs) during deep space missions which remains an underexplored area. In this study, the Geant4-DNA Monte Carlo code was used to assess the DNA damage caused by SPEs and evaluate the protective effectiveness of a multilayer shelter. By examining the February 1956 and October 1989 SPEs-two extreme cases-the results showed that the proposed shelter reduced DNA damage by up to 57.

Di-2-(ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is a phthalate derivative used extensively in a wide range of materials, such as medical devices, toys, cosmetics, and personal care products. Many mechanisms, including epigenetics, may be involved in the effects of phthalates on brain development. In this study, Sprague-Dawley male rats were obtained 21-23 days after their birth (post-weaning) and were exposed to DEHP during the prepubertal period with low-dose DEHP (DEHP-L, 30 mg/kg/day) and high-dose DEHP (DEHP-H, 60 mg/kg/day, 37 days) until the end of adolescence (PND 60).

Tumour cells possess a multitude of chemoresistance mechanisms, which could plausibly contribute to the ineffectiveness of chemotherapy. O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is an important effector protein associated with Temozolomide (TMZ) resistance in various tumours. To some extent, the expression level of MGMT determines the sensitivity of cells to TMZ, but the mechanism of its expression regulation has not been fully elucidated.

Navigating complex extracellular environments requires extensive deformation of cells and their nuclei. Most in vitro systems used to study nuclear deformations impose whole-cell confinement that mimics the physical crowding experienced by cells during 3D migration through tissues. Such systems, however, do not reproduce the types of nuclear deformations expected to occur in cells that line tissues such as endothelial or epithelial cells whose physical confinement stems principally from the topography of their underlying basement membrane.
