Whole‐crop harvestable chicory for the phytoextraction of copper from wine‐growing soils and its use in animal feed

Abstract Background Since 2018, European Union regulations have reduced copper (Cu) doses in viticulture to combat fungal diseases, but Cu continues to accumulate in soils, potentially harming soil organisms. The aim of our study was to reduce the Cu content of soils by means of...

Intra- and inter-specific variability in benthic foraminifera modulates surface sediment reworking

Abstract Bioturbation is a key ecological process that regulates benthic ecosystem functioning, including organic matter remineralization and nutrient regeneration. Despite growing evidence that meiofauna, and benthic foraminifera in particular, contribute to sediment bioturbatio...

Evaluating zinc bioavailability in dredged sediments of Guanabara bay (BRAZIL): implications for coastal management standards

Abstract Guanabara Bay (GB) is an environment contaminated by metals, and it is the bay that receives the most dredging in Brazil and South America. Previous studies have shown the impact of dredging on planktonic and benthic species, which were not correctly measured by the Braz...

Anti-thymocyte globulin triggers TNF-dependent cell death in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) accounts for one of the most aggressive hematological tumors associated with poor prognosis, notably for relapsed and refractory patients. Hence, an unmet medical need persists for T-ALL patients who fail to durably respond to conventio...

Mangrove sediments as carbon sinks: a global analysis of research patterns, trends and future directions

Abstract Mangrove sediments are widely recognized as an important component of long-term carbon storage in coastal ecosystems. However, the structure, evolution, and thematic organization of the scientific literature addressing mangrove sediment carbon have not yet been clearly c...

Identification of living (Rose Bengal)-stained benthic foraminifera using automated image recognition

Abstract. Living and fossil benthic foraminifera are widely used as bioindicators of ecosystem quality, but their analysis is time-consuming. With the help of artificial intelligence, models for the automatic identification of fossil planktonic foraminifera and, more recently, be...
