Nanomaterials are highly dynamic in biological and environmental media. A critical need for
advancing environmental health and safety research for nanomaterials is to identify …

There is a pressing need to develop rapid whole animal-based testing assays to assess the
potential toxicity of engineered nano-materials. To meet this challenge, the embryonic …

There are tens of thousands of man-made chemicals in the environment; the inherent safety
of most of these chemicals is not known. Relevant biological platforms and new …

Perfluorooctanesulphonicacid (PFOS), a persistent organic contaminant, has been widely
detected in the environment, wildlife and humans, but few studies have assessed its effect on …

The 5′-cap and the poly(A) tail act synergistically to increase the translational efficiency of
eukaryotic mRNAs, which suggests that these two mRNA elements communicate during …

All polyadenylated mRNAs contain sequence of variable length between the coding region
and the poly(A) tail. Little has been done to establish what role the length of the 3′ …

The embryonic zebrafish model offers the power of whole-animal investigations (eg, intact
organism, functional homeostatic feedback mechanisms, and intercellular signaling) with the …

Due to its unique physicochemical and optical properties, C 60 has raised interest in
commercialization for a variety of products. While several reports have determined this …

The increased use of flammable plastics and electronic devices along with stricter fire safety
standards has led to the heavy use of flame retardant chemicals in many consumer, …

The zebrafish model is the only available high-throughput vertebrate assessment system, and
it is uniquely suited for studies of in vivo cell biology. A sequenced and annotated genome …
