Untargeted metabolomics has the potential to improve the predictivity of in vitro toxicity models and therefore may aid the reduction of expensive and laborious animal models. Here we describe a chronic nephrotoxicity study conducted on a human renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line (RPTEC/TERT...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), one of the most common nanomaterials in use today, have been shown to enter the aquatic environment from use of commercially obtained products. Although acute toxicity has been shown in vitro and in vivo, there is still a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the molecu...

Tetracycline (TC), a widely used veterinary antibiotic, is a pervasive emerging contaminant threatening crop production. Here, we employed integrated physiological, metabolomic, and transcriptomic analyses to decipher the response of soybean (Glycine max L.) to TC. While seed germination was unaffec...

The Chinese caterpillar fungus, Ophiocordyceps sinensis, is a valuable medicinal entomopathogenic fungus, but artificial cultivation is hindered by fruiting body abortion, severely impacting yield and quality. The interactions between the fungus, its host insects, and soil are critical for its de...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the primary neurodegenerative disease spread worldwide. One of the main histopathological hallmarks of AD is amyloid plaque deposition in the brain. Despite some epidemiological studies demonstrating that cigarette smoke is a factor in predisposing people to AD, nicoti...

Genetic interactions are fundamental to the architecture of complex traits, yet the molecular mechanisms by which variant combinations influence cellular pathways remain poorly understood. Here, we answer the question of whether interactions between genetic variants can activate unique pathways a...

The islet in type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by amyloid deposits derived from islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), a protein co-expressed with insulin by β-cells. In common with amyloidogenic proteins implicated in neurodegeneration, human IAPP (hIAPP) forms membrane permeant toxic oligomers imp...

Dominantly inherited expanded repeat neurodegenerative diseases are typically caused by the expansion of existing variable copy number tandem repeat sequences in otherwise unrelated genes. Repeats located in translated regions encode polyglutamine that is thought to be the toxic agent, however in se...

The development of nephrotoxicity limits the maximum achievable dosage and treatment intervals for cisplatin chemotherapy. Therefore, identifying mechanisms that regulate this toxicity could offer novel methods to optimize cisplatin delivery. MicroRNAs are capable of regulating many different genes,...

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is one of the polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases, which are caused by a CAG repeat expansion within the coding region of the associated genes. The CAG repeat specifies glutamine, and the expanded polyQ domain with mutation confers dominant toxicity on the protein. Tr...
