Proposal of integrative scores and biomonitor selection for metal bioaccumulation risk assessment in mine-impacted rivers
(Elsevier, 2021-09)
Development of sound criteria for metal and metalloid bioaccumulation risk assessment in river basins affected by mining activities is a necessary tool to protect the aquatic communities. The aim of this study is to propose ...
Proteomic Strategies to Evaluate the Impact of Farming Conditions on Food Quality and Safety in Aquaculture Products
(MDPI, 2020-08-04)
This review presents the primary applications of various proteomic strategies to evaluate the impact of farming conditions on food quality and safety in aquaculture products. Aquaculture is a quickly growing sector that ...
The MAPT H1 Haplotype Is a Risk Factor for Alzheimer’s Disease in APOE ε4 Non-carriers
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-04)
An ancestral inversion of 900 kb on chromosome 17q21, which includes the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) gene, defines two haplotype clades in Caucasians (H1 and H2). The H1 haplotype has been linked inconsistently ...
Food-type may jeopardize biomarker interpretation in mussels used in aquatic toxicological experimentation
(Public Library Science, 2019-08-05)
To assess the influence of food type on biomarkers, mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were maintained under laboratory conditions and fed using 4 different microalgae diets ad libitum for 1 week: (a) Isochrysis galbana; ...
Cell Patterning Technology on Polymethyl Methacrylate through Controlled Physicochemical and Biochemical Functionalization
(MDPI, 2023-09-23)
In recent years, innovative cell-based biosensing systems have been developed, showing impact in healthcare and life science research. Now, there is a need to design mass-production processes to enable their commercialization ...
Lack of genetic structure in euryhaline Chelon labrosus from the estuaries under anthropic pressure in the Southern Bay of Biscay to the coastal waters of the Mediterranean Sea
(Elsevier, 2023-07)
Over the last decade, xenoestrogenic effects have been reported in populations of thicklip grey mullet Chelon labrosus from contaminated estuaries in the Bay of Biscay, resulting in intersex condition. To understand the ...
Influence of dispersant application on the toxicity to sea urchin embryos of crude and bunker oils representative of prospective oil spill threats in Arctic and Sub-Arctic seas
(Elsevier, 2021-09-09)
This study deals with the toxicity assessment of crude and bunker oils representative of prospective oil spill threats in Arctic and Sub-Arctic seas (NNA: Naphthenic North-Atlantic crude oil; MGO: Marine Gas Oil; IFO: ...
Toxicopathic effects of waterborne Cd in sole juveniles, a prospective pollution monitoring sentinel for estuarine ecosystems
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Introduction: Estuarine ecosystems are under high anthropogenic pressure and receive a wide Q7 variety of contaminants, including metals. They can remain trapped in estuarine sediments at high concentrations for long periods ...
Misinterpretation in microplastic detection in biological tissues: When 2D imaging is not enough
(Elsevier, 2023-06)
The presence of microplastics in the food chain is a public concern worldwide, and its analysis is an analytical challenge. In our research, we apply Raman imaging to study the presence of 1mum polystyrene microplastics ...
New Nuclear SNP Markers Unravel the Genetic Structure and Effective Population Size of Albacore Tuna (Thunnus alalunga)
(Public Library Science, 2015-06-19)
In the present study we have investigated the population genetic structure of albacore (Thunnus alalunga, Bonnaterre 1788) and assessed the loss of genetic diversity, likely due to overfishing, of albacore population in ...
