TL;DR: How such processes influence heavy metal uptake through various biogeochemical processes including translocation, transformation, chelation, immobilization, solubilization, precipitation, volatilization and complexation of heavy metals ultimately facilitating phytoremediation is illustrated.

Abstract: Leaves entering low order streams are subject to physical abrasion, microbial degradation and invertebrate fragmentation. Aquatic invertebrates feeding on leaves are known as shredders and their densities tend to be correlated with the spatial and temporal accumulation of organic matter in streams. Shredders discriminate among the variety of leaves normally found in the stream; this discrimination may be related to differences in leaf toughness, plant nutrient content of leaves and the presence of secondary compounds. Shredders also consume leaves preferentially after the establishment of a well-developed microbial community. This preference may be the result of changes in leaf matrix carried out by the microbial community or the presence of fungal hyphae with a higher nutrition value than the leaves themselves. The immediate consequence of invertebrate feeding on leaves is the incorporation of plant material into secondary production and the fragmentation of leaves. The relative importance of fungi and invertebrates in the decomposition process depends upon the density of shredders, which, in turn, may depend on litter accumulation in streams. Therefore, the type of riparian vegetation has the potential to control the diversity and abundance of shredders and changes in riparian vegetation have the potential to affect the assemblages of aquatic invertebrates.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that incorporation of Ptx in nanoparticles strongly enhances the cytotoxic effect of the drug as compared to Taxol, this effect being more relevant for prolonged incubation times.

TL;DR: It is shown that the mitochondrial NAD-dependent deacetylase SIRT3 is a crucial regulator of the Warburg effect, and it is found that Sirt3 overexpression represses glycolysis and proliferation in breast cancer cells, providing a metabolic mechanism for tumor suppression.
