The metals in the aquatic environment may be incorporated by the local biota and once incorporated may accumulate in organisms and result, even at sublethal level, in biochemical and physiological dysfunctions with important ...

Most of the pollutants discarded into the environment, such as lithium and selenium, are still lacking in studies of the effects that they cause in nature and are therefore called emerging pollutants. The objective of this ...

The search for materials improvement brought the development of nanoparticles, which environmental and health consequences from its use are slightly understood. Added to that context the drastic populational decline of ...

Epidermoid Carcinoma of the Head and Neck is a type of malignant tumor that presents a heterogenous characteristic, since it affects different anatomical sites like, for example, the oral cavity, larynx and pharynx. The ...

Food safety issues usually relate several quality indicators, such as biogenic amines (BAs). These BAs are produced by all living organisms, possess biological activity and may be present in a variety of foods and beverages. ...

Alginate is a nontoxic, biocompatible polymer, that is easily obtainable. It can form gels through crosslinking when in contact with bivalent metal ions (ionic alginate gel) or through intermolecular bonds by exposure to ...

Soils from wetland areas contribute significantly to the global methane (CH4) budget. In this sense, this work was designed to evaluate the influence of dry and flooding in the active microbial communities involved in the ...

The growing advances in tissue engineering, the development of cell culture technologies associated with biocompatible and three-dimensional scaffolds have shown to be promising for the regeneration of tissues and organs. ...
