Oyster reproduction is affected by exposure to polystyrene microplastics

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that micro-PS cause feeding modifications and reproductive disruption in oysters, with significant impacts on offspring, providing ground-breaking data on microplastic impacts in an invertebrate model, helping to predict ecological impact in marine ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products in waters: occurrence, toxicity, and risk.

TL;DR: The combination of increasing global population size and potential droughts may result in reduced water availability, increased need for water reuse, and increasing concentrations of PPCP in wastewaters, which leads to concerns about the sustainability of global water supplies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological impact of environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (ePAHs) as endocrine disruptors

TL;DR: The findings of the bioassays have demonstrated that ePAHs have the ability to affect the endocrine systems of humans and animals, and standardized assay protocols for pathway-based assessments are considered to be important to overcome these issues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence and hazardous impact of pharmaceutical and personal care products and antibiotics in environment: A review on emerging contaminants

TL;DR: In this article, the major sources responsible for emergence of antibiotic resistance are elucidated and a variety of introductory sources and fate of PPCPs in aquatic environment including human and veterinary wastes, aquaculture and agriculture related wastes, and other anthropogenic activities have been discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constraints and Priorities for Conducting Experimental Exposures of Marine Organisms to Microplastics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review constraints and priorities for conducting experimental exposures of marine wildlife to microplastics based on the literature, feedback from peer reviewers and knowledge gained from their experience.

TGF-beta signal transduction.

TL;DR: The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) family of growth factors control the development and homeostasis of most tissues in metazoan organisms and mutations in these pathways are the cause of various forms of human cancer and developmental disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction of estrogenic chemicals and phytoestrogens with estrogen receptor beta.

TL;DR: The estrogenic activity of environmental chemicals and phytoestrogens in competition binding assays with ERα or ERβ protein, and in a transient gene expression assay using cells in which an acute estrogenic response is created by cotransfecting cultures with recombinant human ERβ complementary DNA (cDNA) in the presence of an estrogen-dependent reporter plasmid are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The NCI60 human tumour cell line anticancer drug screen

TL;DR: The development, use and productivity of the NCI60 screen are reviewed, highlighting several outcomes that have contributed to advances in cancer chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of Estrogen Action

TL;DR: The role of estrogen receptors in physiology and pathology has been investigated in the past decade and it was found that there was not one but two distinct and functional estrogen receptors, now called ERα and ERβ.
Journal ArticleDOI

The E-SCREEN assay as a tool to identify estrogens: an update on estrogenic environmental pollutants.

TL;DR: The aims of the work summarized in this paper were to validate the E-SCREEN assay, to screen a variety of chemicals present in the environment to identify those that may be causing reproductive effects in wildlife and humans, and to assess whether environmental estrogens may act cumulatively.
