We’ve just heard that our paper will be published soon by Plant Cell and Environment. It shows how a common UK seaweed responds to copper at a molecular level. Full text is here, and citation details are: Intracellular localization and induction of a dynamic RNA-editing event of macro-algal V-ATPase subunit A (VHA-A) in response to copper

Prof. Morgan and Dr. Kille have published in the journal Environmental Pollution. Abstract Using synchrotron- and electron microscope-based X-ray microanalyses, the distribution and speciation of Zn and Pb were examined in situ in two earthworm species (Dendrodrilus rubidus and Lumbricus rubellus) living in heavily-polluted soils. Main findings: (i) Zn spectra in ingested soil and in tissues more closely resembled Zn3(PO4)2 than ZnS; (ii)

Dr. Anderson and Dr. Kille have published in the journal Environmental Polution with their work on the effects of arsenic on the life-history of Lumbricus rubellus. Abstract Exposures of Lumbricus rubellus to a series of arsenic concentrations in soil were used to assess life-stage (juvenile, adult) and genotype specific sensitivities, to calculate population growth rate (λ) and to

Dr Kille., Dr. Anderson and Prof. Morgan have published in the journal Soil Biology and Biochemistry with their findings on the effect of arsenic on earthworm epigenetic methylation. Abstract Evidence is emerging that earthworms can evolve tolerance to trace element enriched soils. However, few studies have sought to establish whether such tolerance is determined through adaptation or

Dr Kille has published in this weeks Cell Cycle journal edition with an editorial entitled “Protein kinase CK2 opens the gate for zinc signaling“. This has also been highlighted by being selected for the front cover, with the vivid images of breast cancer cells overexpressing zinc transporter ZIP7, below.
