Differential Effects of Increasing Salinity on Germination and Seedling Growth of Native and Exotic Invasive Cordgrasses [PDF]

, 2019
Soil salinity is a key environmental factor influencing germination and seedling establishment in salt marshes. Global warming and sea level rise are changing estuarine salinity, and may modify the colonization ability of halophytes.

Indocyanine Green–Inspired Polymeric Chromophores With Intrinsic Photostability for Near‐Infrared Imaging

Small, EarlyView.
Indocyanine green (ICG) is widely used for near‐infrared imaging but suffers from poor photostability. Here, an indocyanine green–inspired polymeric NIR chromophore is introduced, exhibiting intrinsically enhanced photostability and biocompatibility.

Comprehensive Evaluation of Bisphenol A Toxicity Reveals Neurobehavioral, Metabolic, and Reproductive Impairments in Girardia tigrina

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), a common industrial chemical used in plastics and consumer products, is increasingly detected in aquatic environments, raising serious concerns about its potential ecological impacts. This study evaluated the sublethal and acute toxic effects of BPA on the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina, a recognized model for ...

Comparative sensitivity of tumor and non-tumor cell lines as reliable approach for in vitro cytotoxicity screening of lysine-based surfactants with potential pharmaceutical applications [PDF]

, 2013
Surfactants are used as additives in topical pharmaceuticals and drug delivery systems. The biocompatibility of amino acid-based surfactants makes them highly suitable for use in these fields, but tests are needed to evaluate their potential toxicity ...

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 ...

Trace Element Analysis in Human Neuroblastoma Cell Spheroids Supplemented With ZnCl2 by Micro‐XRF

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma, the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood, is responsible for ~10% of pediatric cancer deaths and has high potential for metastasis. Metals are extremely important in biological processes, and changes in their levels have been correlated with the development of cancerous growth.

FGF-2 Induces Neuronal Death through Upregulation of System xc- [PDF]

, 2014
The cystine/glutamate antiporter (system xc-) transports cystine into cell in exchange for glutamate. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) upregulates system xc- selectively on astrocytes, which leads to increased cystine uptake, the substrate for ...

Defining AV2‐1 as a novel pharmacological probe to target human and rodent TRPV2

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is a non‐selective cation channel implicated in immune cell functions. However, progress in understanding TRPV2 has been limited by a lack of potent and selective pharmacological tools, particularly those targeting the human variant. We aimed to identify and characterise a

Cytotoxic Effects of Methylgerambullin and Bis(Methylthiomethyl)-Disulphide (SB) on T-Lymphoblastic Leukemic Cell Line (Cem-SS) [PDF]

, 2000
The cytotoxic effects of 2 sulphur-containing compounds were studied on Tlymphoblastic leukemic cell line. Methylgerambullin is believed to be a new sulphone derived from a methylthiopropenoic acid isolated from Glycosmis calcicola (family Rutaceae ...

St John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) Oil on Immune Response, Growth Performance and Bacterial Resistance Against Lactococcus garvieae Pathogen in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effects of St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) oil on the growth performance, immune responses and resistance against Lactococcus garvieae in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The plant oil was incorporated into feeds at concentrations of 1, 3, and 5 g kg−1, designated as K1, K3, and K5,
