Tin speciation in the blood plasma of workers occupationally exposed in a cassiterite ore processing industry [PDF]
Saúde em Debate, 2022 Mining is a high-risk activity due to its dangerous processes. Tin (Sn) is obtained from cassiterite ore and mining activities expose workers to the metal. Chronic exposure to Sn may cause pneumoconiosis, gastrointestinal and hematological effects, among

Establishment of a mass-spectrometry-based method for the identification of the in vivo whole blood and plasma ADP-Ribosylomes [PDF]
, 2021 Blood and plasma proteins are heavily investigated as biomarkers for different diseases. However, the post-translational modification states of these proteins are rarely analyzed since blood contains many enzymes that rapidly remove these modifications ...
