Anti-Therapeutic Action: carcinogenic effects

Current status and future prospects of microalgae-based degradation of spent lubricant oil hydrocarbon towards environmental sustainability: a mini review and bibliometric analysis

Spent oil waste from cars and industries is a major environmental problem that traditional cleanup methods struggle to handle. This review shows that microalgae, tiny organisms that are already used for various purposes, can effectively break down the harmful chemicals in used oil. A bibliometric analysis reveals that scientists worldwide, especially in China, are increasingly researching this promising green solution to clean up oil pollution in soil and water.

Current Approaches to Aflatoxin B1 Control in Food and Feed Safety: Detection, Inhibition, and Mitigation

Aflatoxins are poisonous substances made by certain molds that contaminate about a quarter of the world’s food supply and are known carcinogens. This review examines the latest methods for detecting these toxins (from simple lab tests to advanced smartphone-powered devices) and ways to remove or prevent them, including using beneficial bacteria and special plasma treatment. The research shows that combining multiple approaches—detection technology with biological solutions—works best for keeping our food and animal feed safe from these dangerous contaminants.

The Role of AFB1, OTA, TCNs, and Patulin in Forensic Sciences: Applications in Autopsy, Criminal Investigations, and Public Health Prevention

This research examines how dangerous fungal poisons (mycotoxins) found in contaminated food can be detected in deceased individuals during autopsies. These toxins, produced by common molds, can cause serious health problems including liver cancer, kidney disease, and immune system damage. The study proposes procedures for forensic investigators to collect and analyze these toxins from body tissues and fluids to help solve cases involving poisoning or chronic toxin exposure.

Identification of (Z)-2-benzylidene-dihydroimidazothiazolone derivatives as tyrosinase inhibitors: Anti-melanogenic effects and in silico studies

Scientists developed new chemical compounds that can block tyrosinase, an enzyme that produces skin pigment (melanin). These new compounds, called DHIT derivatives, work much better than existing skin lightening agents like kojic acid and appear to be safer. The best compound tested was 100 times more effective at stopping melanin production than kojic acid in laboratory tests and showed no toxicity to cells.
