Journal ArticleDOI
Folate deficiency causes uracil misincorporation into human DNA and chromosome breakage: Implications for cancer and neuronal damage
Benjamin C. Blount,Matthew M. Mack,Carol M. Wehr,James T. MacGregor,Robert A. Hiatt,Gene Wang,Sunitha N. Wickramasinghe,Richard B. Everson,Bruce N. Ames +8 more
TL;DR: Both high DNA uracil levels and elevated micronucleus frequency (a measure of chromosome breaks) are reversed by folate administration, which could contribute to the increased risk of cancer and cognitive defects associated with folate deficiency in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Vitamin E acetate was associated with EVALI in a convenience sample of 51 patients in 16 states across the United States and was found in BAL fluid from the case patients or the comparator group.

Nicotine, Carcinogen, and Toxin Exposure in Long-Term E-Cigarette and Nicotine Replacement Therapy Users: A Cross-sectional Study
Lion Shahab,Maciej L. Goniewicz,Benjamin C. Blount,Jamie Brown,Ann McNeill,Udeni Alwis,June Feng,Lanqing Wang,Robert West +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared exposure to nicotine, tobacco-related carcinogens, and toxins among smokers of combustible cigarettes only, former smokers with long-term e-cigarette use only, ex-users of both combustible and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) only, and longterm dual combustible cigarette-e-cigarette or combustible-NRT users (n = 36 to 37 per group; total n = 181).
