Aflatoxicosis is a life-threatening nephrotoxic condition arising from eating foods highly contaminated with aflatoxin-producing molds. Additionally, chronic aflatoxin exposures are linked to enhanced hepatocellular carcinomas. Using recent advances in mass spectrometry for the detection of aflatoxin B (AFB) DNA adducts, we present data which show generation of these adducts in the kidney, albeit at ≈100-fold lower levels than in the liver of the same animal.

Prostate cancer presents a major health issue, with its progression influenced by intricate molecular factors. Notably, the interplay between miRNAs and changes in transcriptomic patterns is not fully understood. Our study seeks to bridge this knowledge gap, employing computational techniques to explore how miRNAs and transcriptomic alterations jointly regulate the development of prostate cancer.

Multicolor fluorescent encryption systems that respond to specific stimuli have drawn widespread attention to data storage and encryption due to their low cost and facile data access. However, existing encryption systems are limited by encryption materials, restricting their encryption depth. This study uses DNA molecules as encryption materials that offer exceptional specificity and encryption depth within sequences.

A potentially promising approach to targeted cancer prevention in genetically at-risk populations is the pharmacological upregulation of DNA repair pathways. SMUG1 is a base excision repair enzyme that ameliorates adverse genotoxic and mutagenic effects of hydrolytic and oxidative damage to pyrimidines. Here we describe the discovery and initial cellular activity of a small-molecule activator of SMUG1.

Primary mitochondrial disorders are most often caused by deleterious mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Here, we used a mitochondrial DddA-derived cytosine base editor (DdCBE) to introduce a compensatory edit in a mouse model that carries the pathological mutation in the mitochondrial transfer RNA (tRNA) alanine (mt-tRNA) gene. Because the original m.
