AI Article Synopsis
- Mutagen agents can raise the genetic risk in human populations by causing diseases and cancer that can be passed on.
- Effective protection mainly comes from preventing exposure through identifying and regulating these agents.
- Monitoring mutations and studying their effects through epidemiology are crucial in understanding and managing the consequences of these mutations, with physicians playing a key role in this effort.
Article Abstract
Mutagen agents may increase the genetic load of human populations by inducing heritable diseases and cancer. The most effective way of protection is prevention: detection of the mutagenic agents and the regulation of their use. The harm occurred can be visualized by mutational monitoring and epidemiology. The harmful effects of the induced mutations may be reduced to a level accepted by the society with suitable approach and methods. The role of physicians is especially important to fulfil this task.

Introduction: Rice samples exposed to the space environment have generated diverse phenotypic variations. Miniature-inverted-repeat transposable elements (MITEs), often found adjacent to genes, play a significant role in regulating the plant genome. Herein, the contribution of MITEs in regulating space-mutagenic phenotypes was explored.

There is growing recognition across broad sectors of the toxicology community that gene expression biomarkers have the potential to identify genotoxic and nongenotoxic carcinogens through a weight-of-evidence approach, providing opportunities to reduce reliance on the 2-year bioassay to identify carcinogens. In August 2022, a workshop within the International Workshops on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT) was held to critically review current methods to identify genotoxicants using various 'omics profiling methods. Here, we describe the findings of a workshop subgroup focused on the state of the science regarding the use of biomarkers to identify chemicals that act as genotoxicants in vivo.

Microalgae offer a compelling platform for the production of commodity products, due to their superior photosynthetic efficiency, adaptability to nonarable lands and nonpotable water, and their capacity to produce a versatile array of bioproducts, including biofuels and biomaterials. However, the scalability of microalgae as a bioresource has been hindered by challenges such as costly biomass production related to vulnerability to pond crashes during large-scale cultivation. This study presents a pipeline for the genetic engineering and pilot-scale production of biodiesel and thermoplastic polyurethane precursors in the extremophile species .
