Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the biocompatibility of squid ink melanin nanoparticles (NPs) on various human stromal cells and zebrafish embryos, finding they are generally non-toxic and compatible.
- The NPs did not induce cell aging or affect cell movement in human fibroblasts and stem cells, but they hindered tube formation in endothelial cells at certain concentrations.
- In zebrafish embryos, melanin NPs were shown to be safe, indicating potential for use in biomedical applications, particularly in contexts involving radiation exposure.
White grub metacercariae were found in the livers and kidneys of diseased specimens of an introduced channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), in Vietnam. Based on morphological features and 28S rDNA sequence analysis, the isolated metacercariae were identified as Dollfustrema bagarii (Digenea: Bucephalidae) Moravec & Sey. Histopathological examination shows that encysted metacercariae can change the tissue structure of the infected organs and is often accompanied by haemorrhaging and the presence of eosinophilic granular cell infiltration.
