High-grade gliomas represent the most common group of infiltrative primary brain tumors in adults associated with high invasiveness, agressivity, and resistance to therapy, which highlights the need to develop potent drugs ...

Pesticides are widely used, resulting in continuing human exposure with potential health impacts. Some exposures related to agricultural works have been associated with neurological disorders. Since the 2000s, the hypothesis ...

Microalgae have become a key source of valuable compounds, promoting commercial scale applications. However, biological contamination is one of the most critical problems associated with large scale algal production, ...

Tetraselmis sp. microalgae biomass co-digestion with frying oil residue was investigated without or with an ultrasonication pretreatment to enhance methane production. Interestingly, compared to untreated Tetraselmis ...

Four marine microalgae (e.g., Tetraselmis, Picochlorum, Dunaliella, and Synechococcus) with different cell sizes were harvested using pilot-scale ultrafiltration. Average permeate fluxes were 16.75, 19, 25.35, and 33.75 ...

Large-scale production of microalgal biomass is still considered non-viable due to the high cost and energy required for harvesting. A fast, cost-effective, and successful harvesting technique has become widely sought after ...

Sludge generation as an organic by-product of wastewater treatment has seen a consistent increase worldwide due to population growth and industrial activities. This poses a chronic challenge regarding management options ...

Olive mill wastewater (OMW) management is an economic and environmental challenge for olive oil-producing countries. The recovery of components with high added value, such as antioxidants, is a highly researched approach ...

Bisphenol A, or BPA, goes into the composition of a large number of products including sunglasses, infant’s feeding bottles, receipts, or food packaging. Nowadays, there is a growing evidence that BPA may be at the origin ...

This study investigates the leaching potential of several additives embedded in six different plastic types when exposed to extreme simulated marine conditions for 140 days. The findings achieved herein contribute to a ...
