Functional genomics of a non-toxic Alexandrium lusitanicum culture
Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a human intoxication associated with the consumption of shellfish contaminated with a family of neurotoxins called saxitoxins. Many species in the dinoflagellate genus Alexandrium have been shown to produce these toxins. Here I report the first case of a …

Developing next generation, non-toxic, inorganic materials for photovoltaics and thin-film transistors
… low-power, efficient electronic devices. BiOI, a non-toxic, perovskite-inspired material is investigated for photovoltaics (PVs) whilst Cu<sub>2</sub>O, with a reasonably high predicted hole mobility is developed for *p*-type thin-film transistors (TFTs). These novel materials are fabricated with …

Analysis of toxic and non-toxic Alexandrium (Dinophyceae) species using ribosomal RNA gene sequences
… water of several cargo vessels, and include both toxic and non-toxic strains. An emphasis was placed on the A. tamarense/catenella/fundyense "species complex," a group of morphotypically-similar organisms found in many regions of the world. Two distinct SsrRNA genes, termed the "A gene" and the "B …

Non-toxic concentrations of α-synuclein exacerbate Parkinson's disease-like cell death by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction
… conditions, α-syn is not inherently toxic, but does result in a decrease of total cellular energy levels. The mitochondrial toxin, 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+), induced cell death in SHSY-5Y cells that was both concentration- and time-dependent. α-Syn (30 μM) significantly …

Art Departments' Experiences With Traditional and Non-Toxic Printmaking at the University Level: A Quantitative/qualitative Study
… instructors and students in both traditionally toxic and new non-toxic printmaking programs were aware of the hazardous nature of printmaking materials and processes. (b) Traditional printmaking program teach students conventional printmaking methods using toxic materials, while non-toxic …

The competitive dynamics of toxic and non-toxic ribotypes of the harmful dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense in Scottish waters
… saxitoxin producing (Group I) and, recently, the non-saxitoxin producing (Group III) ribotypes of Alexandrium tamarense are present in Scottish waters, co-occurring in some locations. Shellfish toxicity events may have been in decline in recent years, possibly<br/>due to increasing presence of the …

The occurrence of toxic and non-toxic cyanobacteria species in water supplies destined for maize meal preparation process: A case study of Vhembe District
… study was to investigate the occurrence of toxic and non-toxic cyanobacteria species in water supplies destined for maize meal processing. To achieve this aim, the present work was subdivided into two specific objectives. In the first objective, the diversity and identities of cyanobacteria …

Studying the Specificity of hPXR Antagonists Using a Panel of Cell-based Assays
… contributes to adverse drug-drug interactions. Non-toxic, PXR-specific antagonists will be valuable in attenuating the adverse drug-drug interaction which is the cause of many treatment failures in clinic. However, few hPXR antagonists were reported particularly the specific ones. In this thesis …

Phylogeny and biogeography of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium
… A. universa and A. toxipotens contain all toxic strains, while A. mediterra, A. tamarensis and A. tasmanense contain only non-toxic isolates. Within the minutum group, A. lusitanicum and A. angustitabulatum were also not distinct species based on morphology and phylogeny while A. insuetum …

Single-step, Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition of Methylammonium Bismuth Iodide Thin Films
… with commercial silicon solar cells, lead toxicity in these perovskites present a challenge to further scale-up and eventual commercialization. Recently, bismuth (Bi<sup>3+</sup>) based organic halide perovskite has drawn attention as a substitution for lead-free perovskites, since it is a …

Contactless Dielectrophoresis towards Drug Screening and Microdevice Development for Cell Sorting
… ovarian epithelial cells after treatment with a non-toxic bioactive metabolite, sphingosine. Current chemotherapeutics are highly toxic to patients and can cause severe adverse side effects, so non-toxic treatments that could slow or reverse cancer growth would be advantageous. This is the first …

Selenium-induced Enhancement of Hematoporphyrin Derivative Phototoxicity in Murine Bladder Tumor Cells
<p>The phototoxicity of hematoporphyrin derivative (Hpd) to murine bladder tumor (MBT-2) cells was studied in vitro. It was observed that selenium in the form of sodium selenite enhanced Hpd-sensitized photodamage in MBT-2 cells under conditions where the selenite alone was non-toxic. Sodium …
