Ceramide is a Mediator of Apoptosis in Retina Photoreceptors [PDF]
, 2006 PURPOSE. The precise mechanisms involved in photoreceptor apoptosis are still unclear. We here investigated the role of ceramide, a sphingolipid precursor that induces apoptosis upon cellular stress, in activating this death in photoreceptors.

An ecological study regarding the association between paraquat exposure and end stage renal disease
Environmental Health, 2022 Background Persons who experience paraquat poisoning rapidly develop damage to a variety of organ systems including acute kidney injury (AKI), the occurrence of which is associated with an increased risk of death.

Reduced Translocation Confers Paraquat Resistance in Plantago lanceolata
AgronomyRibwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) is a common weed in the winter rainfall region of South Africa. This weed is widespread across vineyards, orchards, and roadsides in the region. The weed has already evolved resistance to glyphosate and paraquat;

Effect of the surfactant benzalkonium chloride in the sorption of paraquat and cadmium on montmorillonite [PDF]
, 2014 Pesticides, heavy metals and surfactants can share the same region or site in the environment and thus they may compete for the surface of minerals. A competitive study of the adsorption between the cationic surfactant benzalkonium chloride (BAC) with ...

What Is New for the Mechanisms of Plant Resistance to Paraquat After Decades of Research?
AgricultureParaquat is one of the most widely used nonselective herbicides globally. Although the emergence of weed resistance to paraquat has progressed relatively slowly since the first reported case in Japan in 1980, it has been steadily increasing.
