The quantification of arsenic, mercury, cadmium and lead in the human bloodstream is
routinely used today to assess exposure to these toxic metal (loid) s, but the interpretation of …

In mammals, the mineral nutrient and trace elemental composition of the body-the ionome-
differs among individuals. It has been hypothesized that these differences may be related to …

Abstract Background Rare earth elements (REEs) are increasingly crucial for modern
technologies. Plants could be used as a biogeochemical pathfinder and a tool to extract …

The Pisum sativum (pea) mutants degenerate leaves (dgl) and bronze (brz) accumulate
large amounts of iron in leaves. First described several decades ago, the two mutants have …

Metallomics is an emerging area of omics approaches that has grown enormously in the
past few years. It integrates research related to metals in biological systems, in symbiosis …

Questions High species richness is observed in certain shrublands on infertile substrates.
Mineral nutrients are likely to be the primary limiting resources in these ecosystems, and …

Humans are exposed to various chemical elements that have been associated with the
development and progression of diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD). Unlike …

Background Ionomics is used to study levels of ionome in different states of organisms and
their correlations. Bone cancer pain (BCP) severely reduces quality of life of patients or their …

The ionome—an important expression of the physiological state of organisms—is poorly
known for mammals. The focus on particular tissues—such as liver, kidney, and bones—in …
