Cadmium carcinogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesMutation Research - Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis, 2003
Cadmium is a heavy metal of considerable environmental and occupational concern. Cadmium compounds are classified as human carcinogens by several regulatory agencies. The most convincing data that cadmium is carcinogenic in humans comes from studies indicating occupational cadmium exposure is associated with lung cancer.

Elevated serum trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and trimethyllysine in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): An exploratory case–control study

open access: yesIBRO Neuroscience Reports
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut microbiota–derived metabolite implicated in protein homeostasis, inflammation, and chronic disease, but its relevance in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains poorly characterized.

Impact of soil cadmium on land snails: a two-stage exposure approach under semi-field conditions using bioaccumulative and conchological end-points of exposure.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Land snails are highly tolerant to cadmium exposure and are able to accumulate soil cadmium independently of food ingestion. However, little information exists on the kinetics of cadmium retention in terrestrial gastropods exposed to an increase in the ...

Defect tolerance in as-deposited selenium-alloyed cadmium telluride solar cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The efficiency of cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells is limited primarily by voltage, which is known to depend on the carrier concentration and carrier lifetimes within the absorber layer of the cell.

Cadmium in tobacco smokers: a neglected link to lung disease?

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Review, 2018
Cadmium in tobacco smoke may contribute to the development of pulmonary emphysema. However, there is poor understanding of the mechanisms behind the pathogenic role of cadmium in this and other smoking-related lung diseases.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...
