Evaluating the ecotoxicity of agropesticides and environmental water contaminants using cell-line and zebrafish embryonic assays by Tan, Roy Zi Hao

“…The results showed that the pesticides tested exhibited acute lethality and sublethal effects on the model organisms tested, albeit some to a lesser extent than previously reported findings on single active compounds. Our findings also revealed challenges in using a single broad-spectrum solid-phase extraction method to retain pesticide analytes due to their chemical complexity. …”

Elucidating the size-dependency of in vitro digested polystyrene microplastics on human intestinal cells health and function by Ma, Yiyuan, Koh, Cheryl Jie Yan, Lim, Hong Kit, Shi, Pujiang, Tay, Chor Yong

“…Interestingly, it is found that the 0.1 µm PS-MPs can perturb redox homeostasis in NCM460 but not in Caco-2 cells. Based on the in vitro experimental boundaries and findings, it is concluded that ingested PS-MPs pose little acute cytotoxic harm to human gastrointestinal health.…”

Phytochemical analysis and cytotoxic effects of mango (Mangifera indica L) kernel on breast cancer cell lines by Abdullah, Al-Shwyeh Hussah

“…It is suggested that the anticancer effect of the M.indica extract is via modulation of redox status through its antioxidant constituents and induction of apoptosis. These findings suggest that M. indica kernel extract, with antiproliferative properties towards cancer cells, while relatively innocuous to normal cells, is a good candidate as an alternative to or for supplementation for current chemotherapies in the treatment of breast cancers, without showing the side-effects associated with these anticancer drugs.…”
