PMID: 35289381
Swimbladder gas gland cells are known to produce lactic acid required for the acidification of swimbladder blood and decreasing the oxygen carrying capacity of swimbladder blood, i.e., the onset of...

PMID: 34742794
DNA hypermethylation caused by environmental pollutants like cadmium (Cd) has already been demonstrated in many invertebrates, including earthworms. However, the exact epigenetic mechanisms that drive this hypermethylation are largely unknown...

Int J Mol Sci
. 2020 Jan;
21(2).
PMID: 31963425
The heavy metal cadmium (Cd) is known to modulate the immune system, challenging soil-dwelling organisms where environmental Cd pollution is high. Since earthworms lack adaptive immunity, we determined Cd-related effects...

PMID: 31571111
The regulation of metallothionein (MT) gene expression as important part of the detoxification machinery is only scarcely known in invertebrates. In vertebrates, MT gene activation is mediated by the metal-transcription...
