Assessment of human exposure to pesticides by hair analysis: The case of vegetable-producing areas in Burkina Faso
Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Edouard René Gilbert Lehmann, Christelle Oltramare, Jean-Jacques Stéphane Nfon Dibie
The present work assesses human exposure to pesticides in vegetable-producing areas in Burkina Faso, using hair as an indicator. The study design includes a comparison between operators who are occupationally exposed while working in the fields and a refer ...
2018Evidence Of Adaptation From Ancestral Variation In Young Populations Of Beach Mice
To understand how organisms adapt to novel habitats, which involves both demographic and selective events, we require knowledge of the evolutionary history of populations and also selected alleles. There are still few cases in which the precise mutations ( ...
Wiley-Blackwell2012A MART-1::Cre transgenic line induces recombination in melanocytes and RPE
Friedrich Beermann, Iraz Toprak Aydin
The number of transgenic mouse lines expressing Cre in either type of pigment cells (melanocytes and retinal pigment epithelium, RPE) is limited, and the available lines do not always offer sufficient specificity. In this study, we addressed this issue and ...
2011Key roles for transforming growth factor beta in melanocyte stem cell maintenance
Melanocyte stem cells in the bulge area of hair follicles are responsible for hair pigmentation, and defects in them cause hair graying. Here we describe the process of melanocyte stem cell entry into the quiescent state and show that niche-derived transfo ...
2010Murine Neonatal Melanocytes Exhibit a Heightened Proliferative Response to Ultraviolet Radiation and Migrate to the Epidermal Basal Layer
Melanocytes respond to UVR not only by producing melanin, but also by proliferating. This is essentially a protective response. We have studied the melanocyte proliferative response after a single UVR exposure to neonatal mice. At 3 days post-UVR in wild-t ...
