Ever since it was first used in armed conflict, mustard gas (sulfur mustard, MG) has been
known to cause a wide range of acute and chronic injuries to exposure victims. The earliest …

Abstract Sulfur mustard (2, 2′-dichlorodiethyl sulfide; SM) is a potent vesicating chemical
warfare agent that poses a continuing threat to both military and civilian populations …

Doxycycline hydrogels containing reversible disulfide crosslinks were investigated for a
dermal wound healing application. Nitrogen mustard (NM) was used as a surrogate to mimic …

Objective: Sulfur mustard (bis-2-(chloroethyl) sulfide) is a chemical warfare agent (military
code: HD) causing extensive skin injury. The mechanisms underlying HD-induced skin …

Our recent studies in SKH-1 hairless mice have demonstrated that topical exposure to
nitrogen mustard (NM), an analog of sulfur mustard (SM), triggers the inflammatory …

Objective: Sulfur mustard (SM) is a bifunctional alkylating substance being used as chemical
warfare agent (vesicant). It is still regarded as a significant threat in chemical warfare and …

A monofunctional analog of the chemical warfare agent sulfur mustard (HD), 2-chloroethyl
ethyl sulfide (CEES), induces tissue damage similar to HD. Herein we studied the molecular …

Chemical warfare agent sulfur mustard (HD) inflicts delayed blistering and incapacitating
skin injuries. To identify effective countermeasures against HD-induced skin injuries, efficacy …

Objective: To increase awareness of the widespread environmental prevalence of the
chemical warfare agent mustard gas, examine the acute and chronic toxic effects to exposed …

Purpose: Sulfur mustard (SM) exposure results in dose-dependent morbidities caused by
cytotoxicity and vesication. Although lesions resulting from ocular exposure often resolve …
