Introduction: Benzene a well-known environmental pollutant is a human carcinogen which is involved in the manifestation of a number of malignancies. Activation of benzene and its reactive metabolites such as hydroquinone (HQ) leads to continuous production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing oxidative Stress. Curcumin, the yellow pigment of curcuma longa, has been shown to possess antioxi...

Back Cover: In article number 2200071, Kenneth Dalgarno and co-workers describe the reactive jet impingement bioprinting system as an effective strategy to deliver high cell concentrations directly onto metal surfaces with various topographies. Mesenchymal stromal cells are bioprinted in soft hydrogel matrices that provide extracellular matrix-like environment. The cell-laden hydrogels integrat...

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia is an aggressive hematologic malignancy which is usuallyassociated with unfavorable prognosis particularly in patients with refractory/relapsed disease.Therefore, development of novel therapeutic strategies is highly required for improving theoutcome of these patients. Although there are several studies evaluating the efficacy of proteasome<...

In the pursuit of long-life K-ion batteries (KIBs), half-cell measurements using highly reactive K metal counter electrodes are a standard practice. However, there is increasing evidence electrolyte decomposition by...

The cover picture shows the selective internalization of molecules a di-galactosyl zinc(II) phthalocyanine into cancer cell. Upon light irradiation, these are excited and interact with endogenous oxygen to generate highly reactive singlet oxygen, which oxidatively damages cellular components, leading cell death eventually. More information can be found in Research Article by Dennis K. P. Ng, co...

objective(s): oxidative stress has been established as a key cause of alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity. licochalcone b, an extract of licorice root, has shown antioxidative properties. this study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of licochalcone b in ethanol-induced hepatic injury in an in vitro study. materials and methods: an in vitro model of ethanol-induced cytotoxicity in brl cel...

objective(s): hyperglycemia, oxidative stress and apoptosis have key roles in pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy. there are local renin-angiotensin systems (rass) in different tissues such as neural tissue. local rass are involved in physiological and pathophysiological processes such as inflammation, proliferation and apoptosis. this study aimed to investigate the role of local renin-angioten...
