Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 367-384, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Watersheds of the Great Lakes Basin (USA/Canada) are highly modified and impacted by human activities including pesticide use. Despite labeling restrictions intended to minimize risks to nontarget organisms, concerns remain that environmental exposures to pesticides may be occurring at levels negatively impacting nontarget organisms. We used a

FASEB BioAdvances, Volume 4, Issue 7, Page 441-453, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Numerous autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk genes are associated with Wnt signaling, suggesting that brain development may be especially sensitive to genetic perturbation of this pathway. Additionally, valproic acid, which modulates Wnt signaling, increases risk for ASD when taken during pregnancy.

Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 1248-1267, February 2022., 2022 We reviewed the available literature describing the single and combined effects of heatwaves and chemicals on different levels of biological organization. We found that only few studies addressed these stressors in combination. Moreover, we highlight the imbalance towards single species and population experiments.

Stability Phenomena Associated with the Development of Polymer‐Based Nanopesticides
Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Pesticides have been used in agricultural activity for decades because they represent the first defense against pathogens, harmful insects, and parasitic weeds. Conventional pesticides are commonly employed at high dosages to prevent their loss and degradation, guaranteeing effectiveness; however, this results in a large waste of resources and ...
