One of the molecular responses which mostly contribute to the physiological plasticity of
bivalves is the heat shock response mediated by heat shock proteins (HSP). Variations of …

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are robustly induced by diverse stressors that denature proteins.
In addition to stress resistance, Hsps are involved in the folding of nascent proteins, plant …

The trace metals are frequently encountered as mixtures of essential and non-essential
elements. Therefore, evaluation of their toxic effects individually does not offer a realistic …

Heavy metals are frequently encountered as mixtures of essential and non-essential
elements. Therefore, evaluation of their toxic effects individually does not offer a realistic …

This study assessed the oxidative stress impacts of Ag NPs and ZnO NPs and their mixtures
in zebrafish (Danio rerio). Zebrafish were exposed to sublethal concentrations of each NP …

Metal oxide nanoparticles, such as copper oxide (CuO), are mass produced for use in a
variety of products like coatings and ceramics. Acute exposure to CuO nanoparticles has …

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NP) are components in numerous commercial products and are
discharged into the environment in quantities that are largely unknown. In the present study …

Wildfires have emerged as a global ecological concern due to their wide-ranging off-site
effects. One particular consequence is the adverse impact on aquatic environments, as …

The Danube is the second-largest river in Europe and has been subject to pollution in the
past. Additionally, in the last few years, the rapid pace of industrialization and urbanization …

The number of wildfires has markedly increased in Mediterranean Europe, including in
Portugal. Wildfires are environmentally concerning, not only due to the loss of biodiversity …
