Is Oxidative Stress sufficient by itself as an indicator and compelling basis for a carcinogenic concern?
Oxidative Stress as a Precursor and Mechanism for Carcinogenicity IARC and others (Smith et al) have identified 10 key characteristics which may be used/considered in the evaluation of carcinogenicity, one of which is oxidative stress. How strong or compelling, if at all, would the data need to be for considering OS as a putative and defensible MOA for carcinogenicity, or would there need to be other tangential/correlative data (e.g., tumors) available. In other words, is OS sufficient by...

Is the role of ceramides in neurodegenerative diseases?
Ceramides, a class of lipid molecules, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Elevated levels of ceramides have been associated with cellular stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, which are processes involved in neurodegeneration. Researchers are investigating the specific mechanisms through which ceramides contribute to diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, aiming to understand their role and potential therapeutic interventions targeting ceramide pathways.

What is the relationship between free radicals and the inflammation process during Chronic diseases?
OxInflammation process is a complex and systemic event that occurs after cellular and tissue injury. The knowledge about both processes is that they coexist, but already known that possibly the inflammatory response is responsible for the generation of a pro-oxidative environment due to the production of Free radicals and Reactive Oxygen species (ROS), especially in chronic diseases. In normal tissue occurs the activation of efficient machinery able to control the oxidative stress, however,...

Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
