With the increase of industrial wastes, sewage irrigation, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, metal contamination is increasingly serious. How to reduce the environmental risk has become a compelling problem in cultivated land. As a gaseous signal molecule, hydrogen sulfide (HS) is involved in multiple plant responses to toxic metal stress. Metal stress rapidly triggers endogenous HS production and exogenous HS alleviates metal toxicity in plants. To elucidate the role of HS in metal tolerance, the physiological and molecular mechanisms of HS in alleviating metal toxicity is necessary to be reviewed. Here, the latest progress on endogenous HS metabolism and the role of HS in plant responses to toxic metal stress were summarized and discussed. The mechanisms of exogenous HS in alleviating metal toxicity is proposed.

The photoautotrophic nature of cyanobacteria, coupled with their fast growth and relative ease of genetic manipulation, makes these microorganisms very promising factories for the sustainable production of bio-products from atmospheric carbon dioxide. However, both in nature and in cultivation, cyanobacteria go through different abiotic stresses such as high light (HL) stress, heavy metal stress, nutrient limitation, heat stress, salt stress, oxidative stress, and alcohol stress. In recent years, significant improvement has been made in identifying the stress-responsive genes and the linked pathways in cyanobacteria and developing genome editing tools for their manipulation.

The abundance of chemical elements in the blood of horses can indicate the physiological balance, health of animal as well as can be taken as an indicator of environmental pollution. The aim of this work was to analyse haematological, biochemical parameters, TOS, FRAP, SOD, Gpx, TAS and their correlations with concentrations of essential and risk elements in blood of horses stabled in two different locations: The National Stud Farm Topoľčianky (n = 11; 11 stallions, consisting of the breeds 6 Lipizzan, 3 Slovak warmblood, 2 Holsteiner) and Experimental Centre at Institute of Animal Husbandry, SUA in Nitra (n = 10; 4 stallions, 5 geldings, 1 mare, 4 stallions, 5 geldings and 1 mare, consisting of the breeds 3 Slovak warmblood, 4 Czech warmblood, 3 Holsteiner). Blood samples were obtained from horses (n = 21) from two localities in the Slovak Republic during May.

Cadmium (Cd) pollution is a global concern. Protists represent a prevalent yet understudied group in soil ecosystems, but our understanding of how protists interact with Cd remains limited. This study investigates the interaction between Cd and the soil amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum, focusing on its resistance, accumulation, and molecular mechanisms.

Background: Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal present in environment that has potential to instigate renal toxicity. Didymin (DDM) is a natural flavone, which shows anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic nature. Therefore, the current study was formulated to appraise attenuative potential of DDM against Cd instigated nephrotoxicity.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer clinically defined as lacking expression of Estrogen receptor (ER), Progesterone receptor (PR), and Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor (HER2). Psychological distress is a major risk factor of TNBC, patients diagnosed with TNBC are under tremendous stress due to the aggressive nature of the disease. Stress hormones decrease the efficacy of therapeutics.
