Selenate uptake by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Algal Cells, its Transformation and its Effect on Membrane Lipid Profiles

Zkeri E., Mavrakis E., Panagou G., Grafanaki S., (Corresponding) Pergantis S., Lydakis-Simantiris N.
Topic: 
Heavy metals in the environment
While selenium (Se) has been demonstrated to be essential for the optimal growth of freshwater microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [1], exposure to elevated concentrations of selenite (Se[IV]) or selenate (Se[VI]), the two major aqueous forms of Se, induce cell toxicity[2]. In this study,...Read more

Patterns of drug use and chemical exposure in Athens (Greece) during COVID-19 pandemic using wastewater-based epidemiology

Aleiferi E., Galani A., Kontou A., Gkogkou A., Nika M., Alygizakis N., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
After the first COVID-19 case in 2019 in Wuhan, China, the virus SARS-COV-2 has rapidly spread nationwide, alarming both the public and scientific community (Cascella et al., 2021). Currently, there are no treatments available for COVID-19, hence reducing the virus transmission and vaccinations...Read more

The chemical exposome in maternal blood and placenta and the potential use of sewage sludge to prioritize hazardous substances

Gil-Solsona R., Nika M., Alygizakis N., Bustamante M., Villanueva C., Gutiérrez-Martín D., Restrepo E., Foraster M., Gómez-Roig M., Llurba-Olive E., Sunyer J., Dadvand P., Thomaidis N., (Corresponding) Gago-Ferrero P.
Topic: 
Wastewater-Based Epidemiology
Chemicals are part of our daily lives and we are exposed to numerous chemicals through multiple pathways. Relevant scientific evidence contributing to the regulation of hazardous chemicals require a holistic approach to assess simultaneous exposure to multiple compounds. Currently, the main way to...Read more

The chemical exposome in brain cancer: an exploratory study.

Gil-Solsona R., Pons-Escoda A., Díez S., Gutiérrez-Martín D., Vidal-Sarró N., Bruna J., Dadvand P., Majós C., (Corresponding) Gago-Ferrero P.
Topic: 
Biomonitoring
Diffuse gliomas are a highly heterogeneous and aggressive brain tumours with poor prognosis and survival and few established risk factors. Environmental exposures are suspected in the pathogenesis of these tumours; however, results of existing studies are limited and inconsistent, particularly for...Read more

Unveiling the occurrence of organic micropollutants in different species of terrestrial mesocarnivores utilizing HRMS techniques

Boinis N., Diamanti K., Panagopoulou E., Gkotsis G., Maragkou N., Nika M., Vasilatos K., Höpker K., Schäfer H., Wieczorek M., Osterauer R., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
The introduction of organic micropollutants in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, which mainly originate from anthropogenic activities, is supported by overwhelming evidence from global studies conducted as early as the turn of the 20th century. A fraction of these xenobiotics, the regulated “...Read more
