Metal induced olfactory impairment in fish: gene expression, protection and recovery
(2014)
To play their ecological role in an ecosystem, a fully functioning olfactory system is vital
for fishes. A fish's olfactory system is very sensitive to low concentrations of contaminants. A great deal of research has ...
H2S S-sulfhydration of pyruvate carboxylase in gluconeogenesis and its regulation by Trx1
(2015)
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), regarded as the third gasotransmitter, plays diverse physiological and pathological roles in the body along with another two gasotransmitters, including nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). ...
H2S as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for asthma
(2015)
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease with hyper-responsive bronchoconstriction and airway remodeling, leading to extensive airway narrowing. The pathophysiology of asthma remains unclear. The literature shows that the ...
Bioremediation of contaminated soils from mine sites using native plants in Northwestern Ontario
(2016)
Practical and scientific importance can be found in this research topic since the results directly apply to remediation of industrial and mined lands in the boreal forest region. Plants suitable for phytostabilization of ...
Nanomaterial-based Electrochemical Sensors for the Detection of Glucose and Cholesterol
(2011)
Electrochemical detection methods are highly attractive for the monitoring of glucose, cholesterol, cancer, infectious diseases, and biological warfare agents due to their low cost, high sensitivity, functionality despite ...
Cross-talk of hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide in vascular endothelial cells
(2014)
Gasotransmitters, like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and nitric oxide (NO), are small gaseous molecules that can be generated in different types of mammalian cells by enzymatic catalyzation. Cystathionine y-lyase (CSE) and ...
Modelling the molecular mechanisms of biocompatibility of artifical materials
(2015)
One of the most common reasons for implant failure is immune rejection. Implant
rejection leads to additional surgical intervention and, ultimately, increases health
cost as well as recovery time. Within a few hours after ...
