DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.12.059
Abstract: Abstract Canopy-forming algal species, like those of the genus Cystoseira, are known to play an important role as ecosystems-engineers. Under key anthropogenic stressors (e.g. nutrient enrichment and urbanization), these species are replaced by persistent and… read more here.

First occurrence of tetrodotoxins in bivalve mollusks from Northern Adriatic Sea (Italy)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Food Control"
DOI: 10.1016/j.foodcont.2020.107510
Abstract: Abstract Tetrodotoxins are a potent neurotoxic class of toxins with potentially fatal effects if ingested by humans, and thus, these toxins are a dangerous threat for food safety. Tetrodotoxins are widely distributed among various organisms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2016.11.001
Abstract: Recent evidences suggest that the toxicological effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) involve multiple nuclear receptor-mediated pathways, including estrogen receptor (ER) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling systems. Thus, our objective in this study was… read more here.
