Histological biomarkers in liver and gills of juvenile Solea senegalensis exposed to contaminated estuarine sediments: A weighted indices approach

Pedro M. Costa, +10 more
- 05 May 2009 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that histopathological indices provide reliable and discriminatory data even when biomonitoring as complex media as natural sediments, and that the effects of contamination may result not only from toxicant concentrations but also from their interactions, relative potency and sediment characteristics that ultimately determine bioavailability.

Enhanced primers for amplification of DNA barcodes from a broad range of marine metazoans

Jorge Lobo, +6 more
- 10 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: These primers demonstrated to be highly cost-effective, which is of key importance for DNA barcoding procedures, such as for building comprehensive DNA barcode libraries of marine communities, where the processing of a large numbers of specimens from a wide variety of marine taxa is compulsory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of histopathological indices in a commercial marine bivalve (Ruditapes decussatus) to determine environmental quality.

Pedro M. Costa, +4 more
- 15 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: Overall, the results are in accordance with environmental parameters, such as distance to pollution sources, sediment type and hydrodynamics, and show that the combination of multiple histopathological features in these clams provides good sensitivity for inter-site distinction even when low or moderate anthropogenic impacts are at stake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging systems biology approaches in nanotoxicology: Towards a mechanism-based understanding of nanomaterial hazard and risk.

Pedro M. Costa, +1 more
- 15 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: Omics and systems biology studies in nanotoxicology are highlighted, aiming towards the implementation of a systems nanot toxicology and mechanism-based risk assessment of nanomaterials.
