Asbestos and Iron

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Theories of disease pathogenesis following asbestos exposure have focused on the participation of iron. After exposure, an open network of negatively charged functional groups on the fiber surface complexes host metals with a preference for iron. Competition for iron between the host and the asbestos results in a functional metal deficiency.

Colonic Barrier Dysfunction and Inflammation Induced by Nano‐/Micro‐Plastics Fibers in Mice via the FAK/NF‐κB/iNOS and TLR4/NF‐κB/iNOS Pathways

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As emerging environmental contaminants, nano‐ and micro‐plastics (NMPs) have drawn increasing research attention due to potential hazards to organisms. Particle shape is a key factor influencing the toxic effects of NMPs, and NMPs of different shapes cause varying degrees of tissue damage. We investigated the specific mechanisms of polystyrene

Covering Up for Coworkers: A Scale Development and Empirical Examination of Relational Cover‐Up Behavior

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Why do employees conceal their coworkers' unethical behavior and who is most likely to do so? To address these questions, we begin by developing and validating a psychometrically robust measure of relational cover‐up behavior (Study 1). Using a two‐wave study (N = 475), we then test the argument that employees may experience an identity threat

Sustainability Assessment: The Role of Entropy‐Based Indicators for Reconnecting Human' Subjectivity and Civilization With Natural Tendency of Ecosystems

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability represents a complex issue in which scientific knowledge inevitably coexists with the subjective perception of humans in its turn influenced by civilization, cultural but also unconscious aspects. These results emerge with evidence from a critical analysis of the main definitions of sustainability delivered by credited entities (
