TL;DR: In this review, the connection between zinc(II) ions, reactive oxygen species, heavy metal ions and metallothioneins is demonstrated with respect to effect of these proteins on cell proliferation and a possible negative role in resistance to heavy metal-based and non-heavy metal- based drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of aluminium oxide nanoparticles demonstrated using a BY-2 plant cell suspension culture model
TL;DR: The results indicate the ability of aluminium oxide nanoparticles to induce programmed cell death in plant cells and may explain the toxic effect of these nanoparticles on plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
