Even though, our food may look and even taste the same as compared to 50 years ago, it contains herbicide and pesticide residues and often consist of ultra-processed foods. These foods (low in fiber, and high in sugar, animal fats and additives) are a significant part of the American ...
Plastics pollution, persistent chemical contamination and inadequately treated wastewater are three key aspects that hinder access to safe and affordable water for all. This Comment argues that a strong priority on pollution avoidance, research for remediation, and tighter regulation and monitoring must be...
The Food Quality Protection Act requires assessing risk of pesticide residues in foods, considering the cumulative effects of pesticides that have a common mechanism of toxicity [8]. The Clean Air Act identifies hazardous air pollutants that are regulated both on an individual level (such as ...
We considered a region to be at risk of pollution if pesticide residues in the environment exceeded the no-effect concentrations, and to be at high risk if residues exceeded this by three orders of magnitude. We find that 64% of global agricultural land (approximately 24.5 million km2)...
SAG is also a substrate of APC/CCDH1, being degraded mainly in the G1 phase, and a SAG degradation-resistant mutant promoted the G1-to-S progression and cell survival. Our study provides a mechanistic insight of fine regulation of two important E3 ligases to ensure proper cell cycle ...
The human upper respiratory tract (URT) offers a variety of niches for microbial colonization. Local microbial communities are shaped by the different characteristics of the specific location within the URT, but also by the interaction with both external
2016). These plant derivatives are eco-friendly with target specificity, biodegradable, economically feasible, devoid of toxic residues, and with the least chances of development of pest resistance (Pant et al. 2016; Rajapakse et al. 2016). Withania somnifera, commonly known as Aswagandha, is ...
The safety limits for herbicide and pesticide residues in foods are often much lower in the EU than in the US (e.g., safer with lower exposure levels). For example, the US allows six times as much residue of the pesticide, Round-Up, with a toxic ingredient, glyphosate, in foods ...
residues at the N-terminus of polypeptides to generate optimal peptide lengths for loading onto MHC molecules, thus shaping the repertoire of antigens presented to T cells both qualitatively and quantitatively39. The human liver is comprised of approximately 60–70% hepatocytes by mass, with the ...
Long-term quantitative Permian and Triassic microbial records and algal concentrations from the continents are presently lacking, despite lakes and rivers being particularly susceptible to toxic microbial blooms, owing to their low turbulence, proximity to terrestrial nutrient sources, and long water ...
