Recent years have witnessed a gradual increase in the bioavailability and groundwater
leaching of toxic heavy metals (HMs) in the environment, driven mainly by anthropogenic …

In this review, recent developments in monitoring toxicological responses in estuarine
animals are analyzed, considering the biomarker responses to different classes of …

The emerging field of metallomics refers to the entirety of research activities aimed at the
understanding of the molecular mechanisms of metal-dependent life processes. This critical …

Increasingly, anthropogenic perturbations of the biosphere manifest in a broad array of
global phenomena, causing widespread contamination of most ecosystems, with high …

Environmental proteomics, the study of changes in the abundance of proteins and their post-
translational modifications, has become a powerful tool for generating hypotheses regarding …

Traditionally, the identification and characterization of microbial communities in
contaminated soil and water has previously been limited to those microorganisms that are …

Plant adaptive strategies have been shaped during evolutionary development in the
constant interaction with a plethora of environmental factors, including the presence of …

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms make a vital contribution to biogeochemical
cycles by decomposing virtually all natural compounds and thereby exert a lasting effect on …

Metalloregulatory proteins control the expression of genes that allow organisms to quickly
adapt to chronic toxicity or deprivation of both biologically essential metal ions and heavy …

The growing interest in the application of proteomic technologies to solve toxicology issues
