Autoimmune diseases comprise a large group of conditions characterized by a complex pathogenesis and significant heterogeneity in their clinical manifestations.Advances in sequencing technology have revealed that in addition to genetic susceptibility, various epigenetic mechanisms including DNA methylation and Door Mat Insert histone modification p
Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) are widely distributed pollutants that co-exist in the environment; however, their joint toxicity on living organisms is still largely unknown.In this study, we explored the joint toxicity of concurrent exposure to Cd and different As species at low concentrations on Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans) in comparison to
The effect of thinning of young Bloomer Set spruce stands by 500 trees/ha on biological activity in the soil profile was studied in the mountainous area of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids.The biological activity of soil was determined under optimal laboratory conditions by tests of soil respiration, catalase activity and intensity of cellulose decomp
In this work, novel nanocomposite films based on babassu coconut mesocarp and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), synthesized by a green route, were produced for application as food packaging films.The films were prepared using the casting method containing different contents of ZnO NPs (0 wt%, 0.1 French Fry Cups/Holders wt%, 0.5 wt%, and 1.0 wt%)
