Serum vaccine antibody concentrations in adults exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances: A birth cohort in the Faroe Islands

Journal of Immunotoxicology, 2021
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are highly persistent in the environment and may cause depressed immune function. Previous studies have linked PFAS exposure to lower vaccine responses in children, but research in adults is limited. Therefore,

An update on quality control for the PFA-100/PFA-200

Platelets, 2018
Testing of platelet function comprises a crucial element of hemostasis assessment, particularly for investigations into bleeding and/or bruising. The Platelet Function Analyzer (PFA)-100 is the most utilized primary hemostasis-screening test system available, as recently remodeled/upgraded to the PFA-200.

Adsorption analysis of PFOA on activated carbon and ion-exchange resin: A comparative study using four isotherm models [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as “forever chemicals”, are highly persistent environmental pollutants due to their strong carbon–fluorine bonds.

Emerging and legacy PFAS and cytokine homeostasis in women of childbearing age

Scientific Reports, 2022
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread chemicals. Legacy PFAS have been phased out of production in most developed countries and emerging PFAS (short-chain PFAS and polyfluorinated compounds) are used as legacy PFAS alternatives.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
