Luminescence bioimaging offers a unique approach for visualizing morphological details of
tissues with subcellular resolution and has become a powerful tool for the manipulation and …

Heavy metal pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems today.
Biosorption, using biomaterials such as bacteria, fungi, yeast and algae, is regarded as a …

In vivo and in vitro evidence for detoxification of methylmercury (MeHg) as insoluble mercury
selenide (HgSe) underlies the central paradigm that mercury exposure is not or little …

Wild piscivorous fish, mammals, and birds may be at risk for elevated dietary methylmercury
intake and toxicity. In controlled feeding studies, the consumption of diets that contained Hg …

This review critically evaluates the available mercury (Hg) data in Arctic marine biota and the
Inuit population against toxicity threshold values. In particular marine top predators exhibit …

Monitoring mercury (Hg) levels in biota is considered an important objective for the
effectiveness evaluation of the Minamata Convention. While many studies have …

The interaction between mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) is one of the best known examples
of biological antagonism, yet the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This review …

Heavy metals contribute to the anthropogenic contamination of marine ecosystems. Some of
them are essential to the life processes of organisms; others are toxic, even at low …

Toxicity of methylmercury (MeHg) to wildlife and humans results from its binding to cysteine
residues of proteins, forming MeHg-cysteinate (MeHgCys) complexes that hinder biological …

Cadmium is found in the environment as part of several, mainly zinc-rich, ores. It has been
used in many technological applications, but biological systems generally failed to safely …
