TL;DR: The first dinuclear platinum(II) DNA sequence selective agent is synthesised and characterised, by (1)H and (195)Pt NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis, and encapsulation by CB was found to not significantly change the cytotoxicity of five platinum( II)-based DNA intercalators.
Carcinogenic and neurotoxic risks of acrylamide and heavy metals from potato and corn chips consumed by the Lebanese population

TL;DR: In this paper, the average acrylamide level in potato and corn chips (1756μg/kg) was found to be 3500-fold higher than the permissible limit for ca rylamide in drinking water (0.5 ǫ) but was below the neurotoxic risk threshold.

Assessment of toxic metals and phthalates in children's toys and clays
TL;DR: Assessment of the quality of inexpensive plastic toys and modeling clays imported in Lebanon found most of the metals were lower than the EU Directive limits except for Cd and arsenic (As), and among children’s toys, di(4-octyl) ester terephthalic acid was the highest encountered phthalate.

Daucus carota pentane-based fractions arrest the cell cycle and increase apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells
Wassim N. Shebaby,Mohammad Mroueh,K Bodman-Smith,Anthony Mansour,Robin I. Taleb,Costantine F. Daher,Mirvat El-Sibai +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that the pentane-based fractions of DCOE possess potential anti-cancer activity that is mainly mediated through the Erk pathway.
Carcinogenic and neurotoxic risks of acrylamide consumed through caffeinated beverages among the lebanese population.
TL;DR: The study shows alarming results that call for regulating the caffeinated product industry by setting legislations and standard protocols for product preparation in order to limit the acrylamide content and protect consumers.
