Metabolic disrupting chemicals in the intestine: the need for biologically relevant models [PDF]

FEBS Open Bio
Although the concept of endocrine disruptors first appeared almost 30 years ago, the relatively recent involvement of these substances in the etiology of metabolic pathologies (obesity, diabetes, hepatic steatosis, etc.) has given rise to the concept of ...

Assessing the Acute and Chronic Effects of Palladium on Daphnia magna and the Influence of Natural Organic Matter. [PDF]

J Appl Toxicol
ABSTRACT In recent decades, rising industrial demand for palladium (Pd), driven by its unique properties and affordability compared to other noble metals, has increased its environmental release into aquatic systems. This highlights the need to assess its effects on organisms, given the lack of standardized toxicity studies and regulations for this ...

Mutation of Brain Aromatase Impairs Behavior and Neuroplasticity in Adult Zebrafish. [PDF]

J Neurochem
This study investigates the functional role of brain aromatase, encoded by the cyp19a1b gene, in zebrafish neurodevelopment and adult behavior. Using TALENs technology, we introduced a 10‐nucleotide deletion in exon 2, generating a zebrafish line that expresses a truncated aromatase protein.

Citrus Psorosis Virus: Current Insights on a Still Poorly Understood Ophiovirus [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
Citrus psorosis was reported for the first time in Florida in 1896 and was confirmed as a graft-transmissible disease in 1934. Citrus psorosis virus (CPsV) is the presumed causal agent of this disease.
