Mustard-DB: The Database of Cellular, Molecular, and Phenotypic Data in Sulphur Mustard Exposure

Abstract

1The significance of sulfur mustard as a chemical hazard cannot be overstated. Its potential for causing severe morbidity and long-term health issues makes understanding its effects crucial. Mustard-DB is an essential database that consolidates extensive cellular, molecular, and clinical data on sulfur mustard exposure. It stands as a critical tool for the scientific community, shedding light on the pathophysiological mechanisms and potential therapeutic interventions for those affected by this noxious agent. The database provides a detailed account of the acute and chronic cellular responses, and clinical outcomes associated with sulfur mustard in in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo studies. By offering a multidimensional view of the data, Mustard-DB enables a comprehensive understanding of the agents impact on human health. This manuscript presents the development, structure, and application of Mustard-DB (www.Mustard-DB.com), emphasizing its role in enhancing our response to chemical threats and improving patient outcomes.
