Potential Health Impacts, Treatments, and Countermeasures of Martian Dust on Future Human Space Exploration

GeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract The challenges of human space exploration produce some of humanity's greatest technological and scientific advances, not excluding innovations in medicine. The microgravity environment causes a host of physiological changes, and exposure to dust on the Moon caused considerable pulmonary distress to astronauts during the Apollo missions. As the

Genetic polymorphisms influencing antihypertensive drug responses

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 4, Page 929-950, February 2025.
Abstract Hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease and its associated morbidity and mortality. The low efficacy observed with some anti‐hypertensive therapies has been attributed partly to inter‐individual genetic variability. This paper reviews the major findings regarding these genetic variabilities that modulate responses to anti‐

Alkaline pH homeostasis in bacteria: New insights [PDF]

, 2005
The capacity of bacteria to survive and grow at alkaline pH values is of widespread importance in the epidemiology of pathogenic bacteria, in remediation and industrial settings, as well as in marine, plant-associated and extremely alkaline ecological ...

Risks to human and animal health from the presence of bromide in food and feed

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract The European Commission mandated EFSA to assess the toxicity of bromide, the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs), and possible transfer from feed into food of animal origin. The critical effects of bromide in experimental animals are on the thyroid and central nervous system.

Ultra-long-term human salt balance studies reveal interrelations between sodium, potassium, and chloride intake and excretion.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2016
BACKGROUND The intake of sodium, chloride, and potassium is considered important to healthy nutrition and cardiovascular disease risk. Estimating the intake of these electrolytes is difficult and usually predicated on urine collections, commonly for 24 h,

Isolation and characterization of a novel methanogen Methanosarcina hadiensis sp. nov. from subsurface Boom Clay pore water

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2024.
We isolated a novel methanogenic archaeon, Methanosarcina hadiensis sp. nov. (TD41E1‐1), from Boom Clay pore water at a depth of 225 m. It exhibits unique characteristics compared to previously characterized Methanosarcina species, such as the inability to perform acetoclastic methanogenesis and the presence of extensive surface appendages.

Increased tolerance to salt stress in the phosphate-accumulating Arabidopsis mutants siz1 and pho2 [PDF]

, 2011
High salinity is an environmental factor thatinhibits plant growth and development, leading to largelosses in crop yields. We report here that mutations in SIZ1or PHO2, which cause more accumulation of phosphatecompared with the wild type, enhance ...

Sequencing complex plants on a budget: The development of Kalanchoë blossfeldiana as a C3, CAM comparative tool

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 1314-1328, November 2024.
Research efforts in plant biology have often been focused on sequenced and well‐studied ‘model’ organisms. Despite the advent of relatively inexpensive genome sequencing, most plant taxonomic groups are underrepresented, with few species that ‘represent’ the diversity of whole genera.

Altered Regulation of Renal Sodium Transporters in Salt-Sensitive Hypertensive Rats Induced by Uninephrectomy [PDF]

, 2009
Uninephrectomy (uNx) in young rats causes salt-sensitive hypertension (SSH). Alterations of sodium handling in residual nephrons may play a role in the pathogenesis.
