100 percent of pregnant women have at least one kind of pesticide in their placenta

...lanced, through consumption of food whose chemical content is low. Moreover, daily exercise and the avoidance of tobacco (which could also be a source of inadvertent exposure) are very important habits which help to control the presence of pesticides in our organisms. ...

Early exposure to indoor fungus molecules may protect infants against future allergies

... microorganisms, so species differ in their glucan content and allergenic proteins. Some fungi also contain mycotoxins that can contribute to disease," adds Tiina Reponen, PhD, professor of environmental health and corresponding author of the study. "Exposure to indoor molds during infancy may be associated ...

Potent possibilities for parasite attack

...pecies. This exceptionally small variation in gene content has given new insights into those processes that may determine disease severity in humans. "Identifying factors that allow three closely related organisms to cause vastly different clinical outcomes is a major quest for researchers and in this st...

...gregates, indicating a high protein or polypeptide content relative to inorganic zinc-sulfide minerals. In combination with the other techniques and experiments, the team concluded that the protein caused the zinc-sulfide nanoparticle aggregation. The researchers conducted experiments guided by known bact...

Discovery in orange cauliflower may lead to more nutritious crops

...ty to store beta-carotene and increase nutritional content in staple crops." Other researchers have created "golden rice" by inserting several genes that increases the synthesis of beta-carotene. But this technique has proved less effective in many plants. Li's research, which increases a plant's ability t...
