TL;DR: Implementation of a new toxicity testing paradigm firmly based on human biology by transitioning from current expensive and lengthy in vivo testing with qualitative endpoints to in vitro toxicity pathway assays on human cells or cell lines using robotic high-throughput screening with mechanistic quantitative parameters.

TL;DR: This poster presents a probabilistic procedure to evaluate the phytochemical properties of anthrax, and the results have shown to be safe and beneficial for human health and the environment.

TL;DR: No evidence for failure of gene silencing is found in sir2α null animals, suggesting that either SIR2α has a different role in mammals than it does in Saccharomyces cerevisiae or that its role in genesilencing in confined to a small subset of mammalian genes.

TL;DR: This research presents a meta-analyses of the immune system’s response to exposure to radiation and shows clear patterns of decline in the immune systems of men and women aged 65 and over.

TL;DR: In this model, FasL expressed by Sertoli cells initiates the apoptotic death of germ cells expressing Fas, which is proposed as a key regulator of spermatogenesis.
