The insect midgut epithelium represents an interface between the internal and the external
environment and it is the almost unique epithelial tissue by which these arthropods acquire …

The long-term exposure effects of nanodiamonds (NDs), spanning an organism's entire
lifespan and continuing for subsequent generation, remain understudied. Most research has …

Graphene oxide (GO) has unique physicochemical properties and also has a potentially
widespread use in every field of daily life (industry, science, medicine). Demand for …

The biosafety of nanoparticles and the potential toxicity of nanopollutants and/or
nanowastes are all currently burning issues. The increased use of nanoparticles, including …

Regeneration or restoration of a lost body part may occur at different levels: it can involve a
part of the trunk, a specific organ or structure (such as a limb), tissues (such as the gut lining) …

Abstract Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are economically and
ecologically the most important group of forest insects. They use several monoterpenes …

Cell death, proliferation, and differentiation in some developmental stages of insects have
been studied in the midgut of ametabolous, which undergo only continuous growth, and …

Abstract Fullerenes (C60, C70) as carbon nanomaterials can enter the environment through
natural processes and anthropogenic activities, while synthetic fullerenes are commonly …

This study investigates mechanisms of adaptation to metal toxicity peculiar to the midgut
epithelium of Epilachna cf. nylanderi (Mulsant, 1850)(Coccinellidae). This species of beetle …

The aim of this work is to evaluate toxicity of nanodiamonds (ND, 20 and 200 mg g− 1 food)
to Acheta domesticus after short-term exposure (10 days) in food. Catalase (CAT), total …
