Implications for environmental health of multiple stressors.
Recent insights into the mechanisms underlying the biological effects of low dose effects of ionising radiation have revealed that similar mechanisms can be induced by chemical stressors in the environment. This means that interactions between radiation and chemicals are likely and that the outcomes following mixed exposures to radiation and chemicals may not be predictable for human health, by...
متن کاملEstimating the effect of multiple environmental stressors on coral bleaching and mortality
Coral cover has been declining in recent decades due to increased temperatures and environmental stressors. However, the extent to which different stressors contribute both individually and in concert to bleaching and mortality is still very uncertain. We develop and use a novel regression approach, using non-linear parametric models that control for unobserved time invariant effects to estimat...
متن کاملMaternal effect in multiple sclerosis.
The genetics of complex diseases is a fascinating but complicated issue. Often, many genes might be involved in a single disorder, each exerting a small effect. To fully understand the pathogenic mechanisms, a comprehensive knowledge of the effect of the individual genes is needed. However, before that, one should try to ascertain how important genes are compared with environmental factors. Suc...
متن کاملCutaneous responses to environmental stressors
Living organisms are continuously exposed to environmental pollutants. Because of its critical location, the skin is a major interface between the body and the environment and provides a biological barrier against an array of chemical and physical environmental pollutants. The skin can be defined as our first defense against the environment because of its constant exposure to oxidants, includin...
متن کاملEnvironmental stressors and the epigenome.
Epigenetic modification and transgenerational transfer of phenotype at the individual or population level, particularly in response to environmental change, is at the forefront of biological investigation. The plasticity of this process allows an organism to respond to changes in environmental conditions, potentially conferring a survival advantage. In this review, we discuss epigenetic transge...
