In vitro toxicological characterisation of three arsenic-containing hydrocarbons
Soeren Meyer,Soeren Meyer,M. Matissek,S. M. Müller,Mojtaba S. Taleshi,Franziska Ebert,Kevin A. Francesconi,Tanja Schwerdtle +7 more
TL;DR: This first in vitro based risk assessment cannot exclude a risk to human health related to the presence of arsenolipids in seafood, and indicates the urgent need for further toxicity studies in experimental animals to fully assess this possible risk.
Genotoxicity of soluble and particulate cadmium compounds: impact on oxidative DNA damage and nucleotide excision repair.
Tanja Schwerdtle,Franziska Ebert,Christina Thuy,Constanze Richter,Leon H.F. Mullenders,Andrea Hartwig +5 more
TL;DR: Comparing genotoxic effects of particulate CdO and soluble CdCl(2) in cultured human cells reveals new insights into the mechanisms involved in cadmium carcinogenesis and provides further evidence that DNA repair inhibition may be one predominant mechanism in Cadmium induced carcinogenicity.

In vitro toxicological characterization of two arsenosugars and their metabolites.
TL;DR: In strong contrast to arsenobetaine, arsenosugars cannot be categorized as nontoxic for humans and a risk to human health cannot be excluded.
Influence of T-2 and HT-2 toxin on the blood-brain barrier in vitro: new experimental hints for neurotoxic effects.
Maria Weidner,Sabine Hüwel,Franziska Ebert,Tanja Schwerdtle,Hans-Joachim Galla,Hans-Ulrich Humpf +5 more
TL;DR: Results clearly indicate the ability of both toxins to enter the brain via the BBB through the influence on the tight junction protein occludin.
Lutein Activates the Transcription Factor Nrf2 in Human Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells.
Katja Frede,Katja Frede,Franziska Ebert,Anna P. Kipp,Tanja Schwerdtle,Susanne Baldermann,Susanne Baldermann +6 more
TL;DR: This study indicates that lutein not only serves as a direct antioxidant but also activates Nrf2 in ARPE-19 cells.
