A review on nanotoxicity and nanogenotoxicity of different shapes of nanomaterials
(Journal of applied Toxicology, 2021)
Nanomaterials (NMs) generally display fascinating physical and chemical properties that are not always present in bulk materials; therefore, any modification to their size, shape, or coating tends to cause significant ...
Exposure to boron trioxide nanoparticles and ions cause oxidative stress, DNA damage, and phenotypic alterations in Drosophila melanogaster as an in vivo model
(Journal of Applied Toxicology, 2022)
Boron trioxide nanoparticles (B2O3 NPs) have recently been widely used in a range of applications including electronic device technologies, acousto-optic apparatus fields, and as nanopowder for the production of special ...
In vivo evaluation of the neurogenotoxic effects of exposure to validamycin A in neuroblasts of drosophila melanogaster larval brain
(Journal of Applied Toxicology, 2023)
Agriculture commonly utilizes crop protection products to tackle infestations from fungi, parasites, insects, and weeds. Validamycin A, an inhibitor of trehalase, possesses antibiotic and antifungal attributes. Epidemiological ...
Interactions of ingested polystyrene microplastics with heavy metals (cadmium or silver) as environmental pollutants: a comprehensive in vivo study using drosophila melanogaster
(Biology, 2022)
Living organisms are now constantly exposed to microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPLs), and besides their toxic potential, they can also act as carriers of various hazardous elements such as heavy metals. Therefore, this ...
An in vivo study of nanorod, nanosphere, and nanowire forms of titanium dioxide using Drosophila melanogaster: toxicity, cellular uptake, oxidative stress, and DNA damage
(Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 2020)
The biological impact of nanomaterials (NMs) is determined by several factors such as size and shape, which need to be taken into consideration in any type of analysis. While investigators often prefer to conduct in vitro ...
Toxicity mechanisms of nanoparticles in the male reproductive system
(Drug Metabolism Reviews, 2021)
The field of nanotechnology has allowed for increasing nanoparticle (NP) exposure to the male reproductive system. Certain NPs have been reported to have adverse consequences on male germ and somatic cells. Germ cells are ...
Hazard assessment of the effects of acute and chronic exposure to permethrin, copper hydroxide, acephate, and validamycin nanopesticides on the physiology of drosophila: novel insights into the cellular internalization and biological effects
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022)
New insights into the interactions between nanopesticides and edible plants are required in order to elucidate their impacts on human health and agriculture. Nanopesticides include formulations consisting of organic/inorganic ...
Adverse biological effects of ingested polystyrene microplastics using Drosophila melanogaster as a model in vivo organism
(Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A: Current Issues, 2021)
The abundant presence and extensive use of polystyrene microplastics (PSMPs) has recently
become a serious environmental concern, as impact of exposure to these substances on human
health remains unknown. While in vitro ...
Genotoxicity mechanism of food preservative propionic acid in the in vivo Drosophila model: gut damage, oxidative stress, cellular immune response and DNA damage
(Informa Healthcare, 2022)
Propionic acid is a short-chain fatty acid that is the main fermentation product of the enteric microbiome. It is found naturally and added to foods as a preservative and evaluated by health authorities as safe for use in ...
The potential use of drosophila as an in vivo model organism for COVID-19-related research: a review
(Turkish Journal of Biology, 2021)
The world urgently needs effective antiviral approaches against emerging viruses, as shown by the coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) pandemic, which has become an exponentially growing health crisis. Scientists from ...
