DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.109881
Abstract: In Portugal, mechanical protection gloves (MPG) are of mandatory use and during their use sweat is released and, consequently, the humidity of the material increases leading to conditions favorable to the growth of microorganisms. However,… read more here.

Abstract: Environmental chemicals may contribute to the global burden of cardiovascular disease, but experimental data are lacking to determine which substances pose the greatest risk. Human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes are a high-throughput cardiotoxicity model… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/13669877.2025.2553847
Abstract: Abstract The risk field has developed several divergent approaches to risk characterization. These approaches often involve probabilistic reasoning but also incorporate aspects of uncertainty, knowledge, and knowledge strength. This paper develops, reports, and discusses an… read more here.
