Surface Defects Regulate the in Vivo Bioenergetic Response of Earthworm Eisenia fetida Coelomocytes to Molybdenum Disulfide Nanosheets.

ACS Nano, 2023
Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (2D MoS2) nanomaterials are seeing increased use in several areas, and this will lead to their inevitable release into soils. Surface defects can occur on MoS2 nanosheets during synthesis or during environmental aging

Short-Term Thermal Stress Affects Immune Cell Features in the Sea Urchin Paracentrotus lividus

Animals, 2023
Due to global warming, animals are experiencing heat stress (HS), affecting many organic functions and species’ survival. In this line, some characteristics of immune cells in sea urchins subjected to short-term HS were evaluated.

Co-presence of black soldier fly frass, soil-biodegradable mulch films, and earthworms: effects on film biodegradation, ecotoxicity, and microbial community. [PDF]

J Sci Food Agric
Abstract Background Soil‐biodegradable mulch films (SBF) are used increasingly to enhance crop yields while addressing soil pollution and disposal issues. Another sustainable practice gaining attention is the use of soil amendments derived from waste, such as insect frass from Hermetia illucens.

Distinct Uptake Routes Participate in Silver Nanoparticle Engulfment by Earthworm and Human Immune Cells

Nanomaterials, 2022
The consequences of engineered silver nanoparticle (AgNP) exposure and cellular interaction with the immune system are poorly understood. The immunocytes of the Eisenia andrei earthworm are frequently applied in ecotoxicological studies and possess ...

Cellular, Hormonal, and Behavioral Responses of the Holothuroid Cucumaria frondosa to Environmental Stressors

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Holothuroids (sea cucumbers) are one of the most ubiquitous groups of benthic animals found across diverse marine ecosystems. As echinoderms, they also occupy an important place in the evolutionary hierarchy, sitting close to vertebrates in the ...

Wound healing and Cadmium detoxification in the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris – a potential case for coelomocytes?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Earthworms are affected by physical stress, like injury, and by exposure to xenobiotics, such as the toxic metal cadmium (Cd), which enters the environment mainly through industry and agriculture.

Evolutionarily Ancient Caspase-9 Sensitizes Immune Effector Coelomocytes to Cadmium-Induced Cell Death in the Sea Cucumber, Holothuria leucospilota

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Heavy-metal pollution has increasingly jeopardized the habitats of marine organisms including the sea cucumber, a seafloor scavenger vital to seawater bio-decontamination, ocean de-acidification and coral-reef protection.

Evaluation of Complex Toxicity of Canbon Nanotubes and Sodium Pentachlorophenol Based on Earthworm Coelomocytes Test. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
As a standard testing organism in soil ecosystems, the earthworm Eisenia fetida has been used widely in toxicity studies. However, tests at the individual level are time- and animal-consuming, with limited sensitivity.
