Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alterations produced by contaminants in humans are obtained through extrapolation of results from in vivo and in vitro assay. Studies at the cellular level are wide-ranging, as the number of possibilities for detecting alterations in proteins, genes, enzymatic activity, and a large etcetera might end up activating or discontinuing mechanisms which can be of interest for following the toxicological pathway of a particular compounds. There is no doubt that any toxic effects at such a level precede those detected in organs and systems; and alterations in cell cycle and cell death are of great interest. The focus of this Special Issue of Cells is to gather the most recent advances related to the effects of any contaminant or toxic compound on cells and their implications for the toxicological effect in cell cycle and/or cell death in any organ or biological system; thus, papers dealing with cellular systems as well as animal models including assays at cellular level are welcome. Both research papers and review articles proposing novelties or overviews, respectively and dealing with the objectives described above, are welcome.
