Navigating the Complexity: A Comprehensive Review of GSK‐3 Inhibition in Regenerative Medicine

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycogen synthase kinase‐3 (GSK‐3) is a central regulator of numerous cellular signaling pathways, with critical roles in metabolism, proliferation, differentiation, and tissue regeneration. This review explores the multifaceted effects of pharmacological GSK‐3 inhibition across multiple body districts, focusing on its highly context‐dependent

Assessment of Oxidative Stress, Vitellogenin, and Human Health Risks Derived From Nile Tilapia Exposed to Metals and Metalloids in Southeastern Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban coastal lagoons are highly vulnerable ecosystems increasingly affected by metal contamination, as well as multiple anthropogenic stressors. This study evaluated ecotoxicological and human health risks associated with chronic metal exposure in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from an anthropogenically impacted lagoon in southeastern ...

Influence of Age and Exposure Pathway on Copper and Cadmium Mixture Toxicity: A Study on Daphnia magna

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal contamination in aquatic ecosystems poses substantial risks to freshwater organisms, with mixture effects often deviating from predictions based on single‐metal toxicity. Understanding how age‐specific sensitivities and multiple exposure pathways influence mixture effects is critical for accurate risk assessment.

Protective Effects of Bee Venom (Apis mellifera) Against Cadmium‐Induced Hepatorenal Toxicity, Oxidative Stress, and Anxiety‐Like Behavior in Rats

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a persistent environmental heavy metal and a major public health concern because it persists in the body for long periods and gradually accumulates in vital organs, particularly the liver, kidneys, and brain. Chronic Cd exposure promotes the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which ultimately leads to ...
