Most heat shock proteins (Hsp) function as molecular chaperones that help organisms to
cope with stress of both an internal and external nature. Here, we review the recent …

New chemicals are being added each year to the existing burden of toxic substances in the
environment. This has led to increased pollution of ecosystems as well as deterioration of …

Agents that suppress the toxic effect of arecoline (a chemical present in the Areca nut fruit)
have become a need of the hour owing to its several harmful effects on human beings …

The biological concept of stress originated in mammals, where a “General Adaptation
Syndrome” describes a set of common integrated physiological responses to diverse …

The single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assay, also known as the Comet assay, is one of
the most promising genotoxicity tests developed in recent years to measure and analyse …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are a ubiquitous feature of cells in which these proteins cope
with stress‐induced denaturation of other proteins. Among the different families of Hsps, the …

White-backed planthopper, Sogatella furcifera (Horváth)(Hemiptera: Delphacidae), one of
the main agricultural insect pests in China, is resistant to a wide variety of insecticides. We …

The single cell gel electrophoresis or Comet assay is one of the most popular techniques for
genotoxicity assessment. The present study was undertaken to validate our previously …

Sodium fluoride (NaF), one of the most frequently used fluoride compound is composed of
Na+ and F−. Apart from its use in water fluoridation, NaF also acts as a major component for …

Benzene, a ubiquitous environmental chemical, is known to cause immune dysfunction and
