Uptake of Radionuclides by Bryophytes in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone
Toxics, 2023 The “Chernobyl nuclear disaster” released huge amounts of radionuclides, which are still detectable in plants and sediments today. Bryophytes (mosses) are primitive land plants lacking roots and protective cuticles and therefore readily accumulate ...

The Role of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in the Formation of Extracellular Traps (ETs) in Humans
Biomolecules, 2015 Extracellular traps (ETs) are reticulate structures of extracellular DNA associated with antimicrobial molecules. Their formation by phagocytes (mainly by neutrophils: NETs) has been identified as an essential element of vertebrate innate immune defense.

Plasmolysis: Loss of Turgor and Beyond
Plants, 2014 Plasmolysis is a typical response of plant cells exposed to hyperosmotic stress. The loss of turgor causes the violent detachment of the living protoplast from the cell wall. The plasmolytic process is mainly driven by the vacuole.
