background fish cell lines are advantageous alternatives to mammalian cell lines for carrying out in vitro research. they are used extensively for the study of fish biology, physiology and toxicology, and more recently for germplasm conservation of important fish species. objectives the present study aims to establish and characterize a novel fish cell line from muscle tissue of wallago attu ca...

Coelomocytes were extruded from three earthworm species: Lumbricus terrestris, Eisenia fetida and Octolasion tyrtaeum. Featuring a simple low-vacuum holding device, the proposed methodology allows the recovery of cells with minimum risk of contamination by faecal material. The viability of O. tyrtaeum coelomocytes was highly reproducible (average 93%), with an average yield of 0.92 x 10(6) viab...

in this research we have developed a treatment method for textile wastewater by tio2/sio2-based magnetic nanocomposite. textile wastewater includes a large variety of dyes and chemicals and needs treatments. this manuscript presents a facile method for removing dyes from the textile wastewater by using tio2/sio2-based nanocomposite (fe3o4@sio2/tio2) under uv irradiation. this magnetic nanocompo...

Investigation of aluminium uptake by human erythrocytes was the major aim of this study. Packed red blood cells were incubated in Earle's medium (pH 7.4) containing varying concentrations of aluminium (0-160 /lg/J) as AIK(SO.), and aluminium content of the cells were determined using flameless atomic absorption. There was significant increase in aluminium content of the cells. Addition of 5...

UROtsa cells after 48 h of incubation. Cytotoxicity was determined by impact on lysosomal integrity as measured by neutral red uptake (A) and dehydrogenase activity as measured by the CCK-8 assay (B). Shown are mean values of at least three independent determinations +SD normalised to untreated control cells.

The use of lysosomal stability in the mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis, as a potential biomarker of environmental contamination has been evaluated along the Portuguese coast. To this end, the neutral red retention (NRR) time was measured in mussel haemocytes gathered from nine different locations reflecting different degrees of anthropogenic contamination. Mussels collected in the vicinity of ...
