Extracellular vesicle and CRISPR gene therapy: Current applications in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington's disease

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 60, Issue 8, Page 6057-6090, October 2024.
Extracellular vesicle and clustered‐regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats gene editing mediated treatment approaches used mouse and patient‐derived cell line as models. With this treatment, an increase in motor coordination and immunomodulation and a decrease in striatal atrophy and neuronal death were observed.

Current species protection does not serve its porpoise—Knowledge gaps on the impact of pressures on the Critically Endangered Baltic Proper harbour porpoise population, and future recommendations for its protection

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
The Critically Endangered Baltic Proper harbour porpoise population is likely still decreasing in size due to an exceeded limit for anthropogenic mortality, the high concentrations of contaminants in the Baltic Sea, reductions in prey availability, and increases in underwater noise.

Dieldrin uptake and translocation in plants growing in hydroponic medium

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2010
It has been known that the Cucurbitaceae family takes up a large amount of persistent organic pollutants from soils and that the translocation of those compounds in cucurbits is higher than those in non‐cucurbits.

Association between pancreatic adenocarcinoma risk and concentration of organochlorine pesticides in adipose tissue and urine: A targeted‐screening analysis case‐control study (PESTIPAC)

United European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 12, Issue 7, Page 951-959, September 2024.
Abstract Background Knowledge about environmental pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) risk factors, including pesticide exposure, remains limited. Organochlorine (OC) accumulates in adipose tissue and can help reflect long‐term exposure. Patients and Methods Age and body mass index (BMI) of patients with PA were matched with those undergoing a surgery for a

Suppressive effect of soil application of carbonaceous adsorbents on dieldrin uptake by cucumber fruits

, 2011
The use of aldrin and dieldrin as pesticides was prohibited in 1975 in Japan. However, some of the soils still remain contaminated with dieldrin, because aldrin is easily oxidized to dieldrin and dieldrin is extremely stable in soil.

Sediment Toxicity Tests: A Critical Review of Their use in Environmental Regulations

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 43, Issue 8, Page 1697-1716, August 2024.
Abstract Sediments are an integral component of aquatic systems, linking multiple water uses, functions, and services. Contamination of sediments by chemicals is a worldwide problem, with many jurisdictions trying to prevent future pollution (prospective) and manage existing contamination (retrospective).

Dieldrin‐dissolving abilities of the xylem saps of several plant families, particularly Cucurbita pepo L.

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2010
The uptake ability of hydrophobic organic chemicals by plants and the nature of xylem sap of the plants were studied. The plants were grown in soil contaminated with dieldrin.

Reduction of glutamatergic neurotransmission by prolonged exposure to dieldrin involves NMDA receptor internalization and metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 downregulation.

Toxicological Sciences, 2010
Dieldrin was previously used as a pesticide. Although its use has been discontinued, humans are still exposed to it due to its high environmental persistence and because it accumulates in the adipose tissue of animals. Acute exposure to dieldrin provokes

Levels of organochlorine pesticides in the blood serum of agricultural workers from Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Cadernos de Saúde Pública
Serum levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCP) were measured in agricultural workers from Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. Blood samples from 26 volunteers (24 males, 02 females, 17-60 years old) were taken in October 1997.
