Cobalt (Co) is an essential element with ubiquitous dietary exposure and possible
incremental exposure due to dietary supplements, occupation and medical devices. Adverse …

Abstract Cadmium (Cd 2+) is a nonessential divalent metal ion that causes toxicity in
multiple organs in humans. In order for toxicity to occur Cd 2+ must first enter cells by …

The kidney has recently emerged as an organ with a significant role in systemic iron (Fe)
homeostasis. Substantial amounts of Fe are filtered by the kidney, which have to be …

Key points Lymph transport is promoted by lymphatic pumping, a robust phasic contractile
activity of the collecting lymphatic vessels. This contractile function, critical for tissue fluid …

The mechanisms underlying cobalt toxicity in aquatic species in general and cnidarians in
particular remain poorly understood. Herein we investigated cobalt toxicity in a Hydra model …

There are synaptic vesicles that are labeled by Timm's sulfide-silver staining method in the
brain, suggesting that synaptic vesicles contain metals such as zinc and copper. Zinc is co …

Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) represent a key link between electrical signals
and non-electrical processes, such as contraction, secretion and transcription. Evolved to …

Cobalt (Co) is an essential element to fish and other organisms. Its main role is as an
intrinsic part of vitamin B 12 or cobalamin. Fish and all other animals are not capable of …

The development of metallic joint prostheses has been ongoing for more than a century
alongside advancements in hip and knee arthroplasty. Among the materials utilized, the …

Firing patterns differ between subpopulations of vestibular primary afferent neurons. The
role of sodium (NaV) channels in this diversity has not been investigated because NaV …
