Environmental exposures and health behavior in association with mental health: a study design.
affect human health. However, less is known about their underlying biological mechanisms. One of these mechanisms could be biological aging. In this study, we explore the mediation of biomarkers of ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
Jean-Marie Aerts; Jos Van Orshoven; Ben Somers Source: Landscape and Urban Planning, Volume 198 (2020) Abstract: Trees provide ecosystem services that improve the environment and human health. The magnitude of ...
An evaluation of species distribution models to estimate tree diversity at genus level in a heterogeneous urban-rural landscape
provide ecosystem services that improve the environment and human health. The magnitude of these improvements may be related to tree diversity within green spaces, yet spatially explicit diversity data ...
Migration of mineral oil from cardboard packaging for food: Identification of the hazards and assessment of the exposure of the Belgian population
insights in the possible health risks associated with MOAH exposure. Based on these scenarios, adverse human health effects could not be excluded highlighting the need for more data to perform a more ...
Simultaneous determination of parabens, bisphenols and alkylphenols in human placenta by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry
BPB, BPF, and BPS) and two alkylphenols (nonyl phenol (NP) and tert-octylphenol (OP) in human placenta samples. After a short sample preparation time the extracts are analysed by UHPLC- MS / MS using ...
Genome Editing in Agriculture: Methods, Applications, and Governance—A paper in the series on The Need for Agricultural Innovation to Sustainably Feed the World by 2050
values of producers and consumers, and economic impacts, among others. Recognizing both that genome editing for crop and livestock improvement has the potential to substantially contribute to human welfare ...
A novel genotoxin-specific qPCR array based on the metabolically competent human HepaRG™ cell line as a rapid and reliable tool for improved in vitro hazard assessment
for pharmaceutical, chemical, and consumer products, as afflicted compounds have to be (prematurely) abandoned or further tested on animals. Using the metabolically competent human HepaRG ™ cell line and toxicogenomics ...
Taxonomic annotation of public fungal ITS sequences from the built environment- A report from an April 10-11, 2017 workshop (Aberdeen, UK)
persistent residents – may hold clues to the rising levels of human allergies and other medical and building-related health problems observed globally. The taxonomic identity of these fungi is crucial in such ...
Isolation and characterization of the compounds responsible for the antimutagenic activity of Combretum microphyllum (Combretaceae) leaf extracts
scavenging method. The cytotoxicity was determined in the MTT assay using human hepatocytes. RESULTS: A bioassay-guided fractionation of the crude extracts for antimutagenic activity led to the isolation of ...
