Impacts of simulated atmospheric cadmium deposition on the physiological response and cadmium accumulation of Sedum plumbizincicola.

Atmospheric cadmium (Cd) deposition contributes to the accumulation of Cd in the soil-plant system. Sedum plumbizincicola is a Cd and Zn hyperaccumulator commonly used for the phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated soil. However, studies on the effects of atmospheric Cd deposition on the accumulation of Cd and physiological response in S.

The miR-145-5p/CD36 pathway mediates PCB2-induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells.

Background: Procyanidin B2 (PCB2) can increase the levels of anti-inflammatory and immune mediators.

Objectives: However, its molecular mechanism in human breast cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the antitumor effect of PCB2 on MCF-7 cells and to examine the underlying mechanism.
