One of the important mechanisms of cadmium (Cd) toxicity is its interactions with bioelements, including magnesium (Mg). Exposure to Cd leads to disturbances in Mg metabolism in the organism, while Mg supplementation has an adverse effect on Cd absorption, accumulation and toxicity. According to the available results, which indicate a protective role of Mg against Cd toxicity, it remains to be ...

In this study, Italian industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) intended for food use was isotopically characterized the first time. The stable isotope ratios of five bioelements were analyzed in different parts plant (i.e., roots, stems, inflorescences, and seeds) sampled eight regions Italy, seed oils. values δ2H, δ13C, δ18O, δ34S differed according to latitude and, therefore, geographical origin...

The advent of nanotechnology has brought along new materials, techniques, and concepts, readily adaptable to lipid membrane-based biosensing. The transition from micro-sensors to nano-sensors is neither straightforward nor effortless, yet it leads to devices with superior analytical characteristics: ultra-low detectability, small sample volumes, better capabilities for integration, and more ava...
