We identified gaps in coverage of the KCs by current assays. Future efforts should expand the breadth, specificity, and sensitivity of validated assays and biomarkers that can measure the 10 KCs. Refinement of the KC approach will enhance and accelerate carcinogen identification, a first step in cancer prevention.

State-level needs for social distancing and contact tracing to contain COVID-19 in the United States
Nature Human Behaviour · 2020 · 92 citations
1st authorCorrespondingStarting in mid-May 2020, many US states began relaxing social-distancing measures that were put in place to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. To evaluate the impact of relaxation of restrictions on COVID-19 dynamics and control, we developed a transmission dynamic model and calibrated it to US state-level COVID-19 cases and deaths. We used this model to evaluate the impact of social distancing, testing and contact tracing on the COVID-19 epidemic in each state. As of 22 July 2020, we found that…
Cardiovascular Effects of Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Their Major Metabolites
Environmental Health Perspectives · 2020 · 61 citations
BACKGROUND: new approach methods data. OBJECTIVES: . METHODS: flux in CMs and inhibition of tubulogenesis in ECs. High-content imaging was used to evaluate cytotoxicity, mitochondrial integrity, and oxidative stress. RESULTS: cardiovascular effects of PCBs. Oxidation of PCBs, especially to di-hydroxylated and quinone metabolites, was associated with the most pronounced effects, whereas sulfation and methoxylation of PCBs resulted in diminished bioactivity. DISCUSSION: data can be used to charact…
