Scientists from Australia have successfully bioengineered genetically modified fruit flies and zebrafish capable of absorbing toxic mercury and releasing it back into the environment in a less harmful ...

Polystyrene nanoparticles disrupt red blood cell (RBC) maturation in zebrafish embryos. Nanoparticle exposure increases immature RBCs while reducing mature ones, interfering with heme synthesis.

Recent findings highlight the persistence of Dihalogenated Nitrophenols (2,6-DHNPs) in drinking water, resisting standard treatments like sedimentation, filtration, and boiling. The research ...

To ensure the reliability of their findings, the researchers employed four distinct biological models: zebrafish, mice, human brain organoids, and a blood-brain barrier (BBB) organ-on-chip system. The ...

Associate Professor of Biology, Larissa Williams, has published a new “Editor’s Choice” and “Featured Article” in the Journal Toxins, revealing that the low levels of pollutants in our waters has more ...
