Comparing Circadian Dynamics in Primary Derived Stem Cells from Different Sources of Human Adult Tissue by Eve H. Rogers, Sandra A. Fawcett, Vanja Pekovic-Vaughan, John A. Hunt

“…It was hypothesised that the circadian rhythm in human adult stem cells differs depending on the source of tissue and that different entraining signals exert differential effects depending on the anatomical source. Dexamethasone and rhythmic mechanical stretch were used to synchronise stem cells derived from the bone marrow, tooth dental pulp, and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue, and it was experimentally evidenced that these different stem cells differed in their circadian clock properties in response to different synchronisation mechanisms. …”

Factors affecting cadmium toxicity to rice germinated in soils collected from downstream areas of abandoned zinc mines by P. Chanpiwat, A. Numprasanthai

“…The concentrations of plant-available, exchangeable, carbonate-bound, and total cadmium strongly affected the accumulation of cadmium in germinated roots. Cluster analysis showed that plant-available cadmium was the main factor responsible for high cadmium accumulation in rice.CONCLUSION: Based on the overall analyses of soil characteristics affecting the mobility and plant availability of cadmium in soils and its toxicity and accumulation in germinated rice, the immobilization of plant-available cadmium in soils by adding organic matter-rich amendments to soils is recommended. …”
