Abstract Cannabis is used by an estimated 192 million people around the world. Most people use cannabis through the inhalation of cannabis smoke, which contains combustion by-products that can negatively affect lung health. Knowledge of these risks has led to a growing interest in cannabis vaporizers, which heat the dry cannabis flower without burning. Vaporizing cannabis still releases ...
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) has gained significant attention in the fields of molecular biology, genetics, and therapeutics due to its pivotal role in gene silencing and the modulation of cellular processes. The production of dsRNA can be achieved through various methods, each offering unique advantages depending on the desired application. This article delves into the primary techniques for ...
In vitro permeability assay kits play a crucial role in the field of pharmaceutical development, particularly when evaluating the absorption characteristics of drugs. These kits allow scientists and researchers to investigate how compounds permeate biological membranes, which is vital for understanding drug bioavailability. Understanding Permeability Permeability refers to the ability of a ...
Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) can impact the reproductive system by interfering with the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal (HPG) axis. While in vitro testing methods have been developed to screen chemicals for endocrine disruption, extrapolation of in vitro response to in vivo action shows inconsistent accuracy. We describe here our tissue co‐culture of the fathead minnow (Pimephales ...
Wildlife can be exposed to human pharmaceuticals via prey that have accumulated the compounds from wastewater, surface water, sediment and soil. One factor affecting internal absorption of pharmaceuticals is bioaccessibility, the proportion of the compound that enters solution in the gastrointestinal tract. Currently, the bioaccessibility of most pharmaceuticals in prey remains unknown for ...
