With the rapid development of the marine industry, biofouling and surface corrosion of
underwater equipment have become a major issue. Traditional antifouling or anticorrosion …

Paint particles are part of the increasingly important microplastics (MPs) pollution of our
oceans. They contain polyurethanes, polyesters, polyacrylates, polystyrenes, alkyls and …

Control strategies and routine biomonitoring programs are commonly performed worldwide
using sentinel marine invertebrates, such as mussels of the genus Mytilus, for assessing the …

One of the key focuses of the agricultural industry for preventing the decline in crop yields
due to pests is to develop effective, safe, green, and sustainable pesticide formulation. A key …

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common heterogeneous endocrine disorder
among women of reproductive age. The pathogenesis of PCOS remains elusive; however …

Marine biofouling remains one of the key challenges for maritime industries, both for
seafaring and stationary structures. Currently used biocide-based approaches suffer from …

Tributyltin (TBT) was widely used as a highly efficient biocide in antifouling paints for ship
and boat hulls. Eventually, TBT containing paints became globally banned when TBT was …

Rationale: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is closely linked to follicular dysplasia and
impaired bidirectional oocyte-granulosa cell (GC) communication. Given that PCOS is a …

Despite the efforts of the International Marine Organization (IMO), through the International
Convention on the Control of Harmful Antifouling Systems on Ships to ban the use of TBT …

All types of building materials are rapidly colonized by microorganisms, initially through an
invisible and then later a visible biofilm that leads to their biodeterioration. Over centuries …
