Both dividing and nondividing cells were able to recover from bleomycin-induced potentially lethal damage, but not from sublethal damage. The recovery from bleomycin-induced potentially lethal damage by nondividing cells was twice as great as that exhibited by dividing cells; and, potentially lethal damage recovery was sufficiently high for cells in both growth states to conceal the true response to sublethal damage. Through the use of integral dose fractions of bleomycin, the recovery from potentially lethal damage can be reduced significantly. These data suggest that closely spaced treatments with fractionated doses of bleomycin may be a more effective means of eradicating tumors containing large nondividing cell populations in vivo.

Genomic integrity is critical for cellular homeostasis, preventing the accumulation of mutations that can drive diseases such as cancer. Among the mechanisms safeguarding genomic stability, the Base Excision Repair (BER) pathway plays a pivotal role in counteracting oxidative DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species. Central to this pathway are enzymes like 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1), which recognize and excise 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) lesions, thereby initiating a series of repair processes that restore DNA integrity.

This study aimed to examine the dose-response effects of polyphenon-60 derived from green tea (P60-GT) on hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)]-induced genotoxic damage and apoptosis. Male Hsd:ICR mice were divided into 4 groups: (1) Control (vehicle only), (2) P60-GT (15, 30, or 45 mg/kg gavage), (3) Cr(VI) (20 mg/kg of CrO intraperitoneally), and (4) P60-GT+CrO (P60-GT administered 4 hr before CrO). Peripheral blood samples were collected at 24, 48, and 72 hr to assess the number of micronuclei (MN), apoptosis, and cell viability, while plasma 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels were measured at 0 and 48 hr.

Caterpillars of the genus Spodoptera are the main pests in soybean and cotton crops and Spodoptera cosmioides causes more severe losses than other caterpillars in these agricultural crops. However, there are few recommended insecticides for controlling this pest. Lambda-cyhalothrin is a pyrethroid used to control a wide spectrum of arthropods including lepidopterans.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are key components of innate immunity across all domains of life. Natural and synthetic AMPs are receiving renewed attention in efforts to combat the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis and the loss of antibiotic efficacy. The gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most concerning infecting bacteria in AMR, particularly in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) where respiratory infections are difficult to eradicate and associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

Phosphorylation plays a crucial role in the cellular response to radiation and cancer therapies, yet phosphoproteomics studies in planarians remain underexplored despite the organism's remarkable regenerative capacities. This study utilized advanced ion mobility mass spectrometry for 4D-label-free quantitative proteomics to identify phosphorylation sites associated with irradiation in planarians. A total of 33,284 phosphorylation sites from 15,505 phosphorylated peptides and 4710 unique phosphoproteins were identified.
