Phthalate induced testicular degeneration in mice: biochemical, histopathological and immunohistochemical evidence for the interplay of oxidative stress, caspase-3, and NF-κB signaling
Abstract Phthalates, including dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), are widely used plasticizers associated with male reproductive toxicity. This study eval...
Cohort, gender and spatial patterns of delayed school enrolment in third-grade children from 2009 to 2025
Abstract Delayed school enrolment can be an important marker for developmental delays and be associated with adverse health events. Analysing enrolment delays on an epidemiological l...
Deficiency of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor in kidney epithelial cells does not influence the development of atherosclerosis
Abstract The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is recognised as an important mediator of inflammatory processes, including those in kidney health. Patients sufferi...
Health risk assessment of enrofloxacin, oxytetracycline, and sulfadimidine residues in broiler chicken carcasses marketed in Mit Ghamr, Egypt
Abstract The widespread use of antibiotics in poultry production raises concerns about drug residues in chicken tissues and associated public health risks. Chick...
Localized delivery of coding nucleic acids into adherent cells by in situ electroporation: integrated impedance-based monitoring allows for loss-of-function or gain-of-function screening
Abstract Coding nucleic acids (NAs) like DNA, mRNA or siRNA hold endless potential to engineer cells with respect to their genome and proteome. However, minimall...
