This cluster of papers focuses on the health effects associated with aristolochic acid, a compound found in certain Chinese herbs, and its link to nephropathy, urothelial carcinoma, and acute interstitial nephritis. It explores the renal toxicity, mutation signatures, DNA adduct formation, and the potential carcinogenicity of aristolochic acid in herbal remedies.
