History of exposure to copper influences transgenerational gene expression resp...
Jeremias, Guilherme; Muñiz-González, Ana-Belén; Gonçalves, Fernando José Mendes; Martínez-Guitarte, José-Luis; Asselman, Jana; Pereira, Joana LuísaThe establishment of transgenerational effects following chemical exposure is a powerful phenomenon, capable of modulating ecosystem health beyond exposure periods. This study assessed the transgenerational effects occurring due to copper exposure in the invertebrate D. magna at the transcriptional level, while evaluating the role of exposure history on such responses. Thus, daphnids acclimated for several gene...
A review on aquatic toxins: do we really know it all regarding the environmenta...
Pinto, Albano; Botelho, Maria João; Churro, Catarina; Asselman, Jana; Pereira, Patrícia; Pereira, Joana LuísaAquatic toxins are potent natural toxins produced by certain cyanobacteria and marine algae species during harmful cyanobacterial and algal blooms (CyanoHABs and HABs, respectively). These harmful bloom events and the toxins produced during these events are a human and environmental health concern worldwide, with occurrence, frequency and severity of CyanoHABs and HABs being predicted to keep increasing due to ...
New insights on the effects of ionic liquid structural changes at the gene expr...
Jeremias, Guilherme; Jesus, Fátima; Ventura, Sónia P. M.; Gonçalves, Fernando J. M.; Asselman, Jana; Pereira, Joana LuísaKnowledge on the molecular basis of ionic liquids' (ILs) ecotoxicity is critical for the development of these designer solvents as their structure can be engineered to simultaneously meet functionality performance and environmental safety. The molecular effects of ILs were investigated by using RNA-sequencing following Daphnia magna exposure to imidazolium- and cholinium-based ILs: 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium c...
