Muscling Mussels: Metabolomic Evaluation of Toxicity

Evaluation of multixenobiotic resistance in dreissenid mussels as a screening tool for toxicity in freshwater sediments.

The multixenobiotic defense mechanism (MXR) in aquatic organisms was recognized as a first-line defense system, and its potential use as an early biomarker of exposure to environmental stress has raised attention in the last two decades. To evaluate the relevance of this biomarker in the freshwater mussel Dreissena polymorpha, we studied its responsiveness within laboratory exposures to contami...

Contaminant Sensitivity of Freshwater Mussels ACUTE TOXICITY OF COPPER, AMMONIA, AND CHLORINE TO GLOCHIDIA AND JUVENILES OF FRESHWATER MUSSELS (UNIONIDAE)

The objective of the present study was to determine acute toxicity of copper, ammonia, or chlorine to larval (glochidia) and juvenile mussels using the recently published American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard guide for conducting laboratory toxicity tests with freshwater mussels. Toxicity tests were conducted with glochidia (24to 48-h exposures) and juveniles (96-h exposure...

Muscling through AAV immunity.

AAV-1 is one of the most promising vectors for gene delivery to skeletal muscle. In this issue of Blood, Mingozzi and colleagues now demonstrate that AAV-1-mediated gene transfer into human skeletal muscle results in activation of capsid-specific T cells.
